Some people may be destined to be sheep and others might be genetically primed to be wolves or sheepdogs. But I believe that most people can choose which one they
want to be, and I'm proud to say that more and more Americans are choosing to
become sheepdogs.

• Contrary to popular belief, the AR in AR-15 does not mean “assault rifle”……It is just a model number that Stoner used when he designed the weapon for Armalite Corporation.
• Many different civilian models are currently produced.

Cover vs. Concealment
![Page 28: Ar 15 Powerpoint](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052117/55525245b4c905954f8b5237/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

![Page 29: Ar 15 Powerpoint](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052117/55525245b4c905954f8b5237/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
•Prioritization
•Identifying targets
•Smooth firearm movement

Shooting through Glass
•If a subject is standing behind glass, 10 feet is the furthest distance that he may be away from the glass and the shooter can be reasonably certain the fired bullet will accurately hit the target.
•Nothing is guaranteed when shooting through glass.
![Page 32: Ar 15 Powerpoint](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052117/55525245b4c905954f8b5237/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Immediate Action Drill
•PULL (the trigger again)
•TAP (magazine)
•RACK (charging handle)
•READY (to handle threat)
![Page 39: Ar 15 Powerpoint](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052117/55525245b4c905954f8b5237/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
If that doesn’t work? (Major Malfunction)
TRANSITION TO YOUR PISTOL AND FIND COVER
