But, but they haven’t shot in any IDPA (whatever it is) and didn’t have that $1000.00 tactical course. Can’t be a legit gun owner without those because that makes you a Fudd. Can’t call it Fudd anymore because he is unarmed now.
In your scenario 99.999 percent of gun owners will be brandishing firearms when they protect themselves. Sounds like you suggest mandatory training to own a firearm so you don’t “brandish.”There is a big difference between brandishing a firearm and engaging with a firearm.
Good for those folks standing up for themselves and their property... Hopefully they have some sort of training/experience to fall back on if they have to engage... Especially if they are in a "multiple engagement" situation.

That's what I got as well..... imagine that....
Shouldn't you be practicing the Wizard??
If that's your holy grail you're a sad individual with nothing better to do.... give it a break, it don't mean what you think it does...

I train in a lawn chair in my back yard. I have Grandkids run around in backyard while I shoot at them with a paintball gun. To simulate protecting me home I get up in their treehouse & have them try to gut up there to me. I just aim from the neck down. They get good exercise too.
Poking fun at IDPA or $1000 AR's is the same as the dress up commando's making fun of this couple.

Listen, the McCloskeys have my utmost respect.
Arguably, target rich environments might require less training.There is a big difference between brandishing a firearm and engaging with a firearm.

Pink Brooks Brothers polos are the new Hawaiian shirts for the big luau.
If in a multiple engagement scenario just shoot all over at everything. That's what I'm doing. Zombie apox style.
Perfect! Excellent blend.

Funny, that's not what I took away or understood his comment to refer to.
Taking both his post in context:
They seem to support Rex's view.
Humans being Humans there is always "Class Warfare" involved, such as I'm better because my rifle cost $1,200 more than yours. The 2A community is no different.
If there is a "Call To Arms", I firmly believe many will be wearing Jeans ~ Dockers and NOT 5.11 Gear.
Still want us to stand next to you,,,????
I fall on the side of "give these people a break". Ill preface what I am about to say by affirming that I fully believe in practice, quality training, and familiarity with ones firearms.
However, the vast majority of gun owners are not as "in to" firearms as people who would single out and join an online gun community like this one. So much of the online community's negative thoughts about this couple and their "tactics and capabilities" is often spoken from people who take firearms far, far more seriously than the average citizen. I liken it to watching two dudes have a bar fight, and then a crowd of MMA fanatics chime in to discuss their poor arm bars, lack of ground control, and shoddy foot work. All of that can both be absolutely true, and also completely irrelevant. One guy still won the fight, one guy lost. The end result could have been achieved far better through training and all that...no doubt, but (as they say) it is what it is.
I personally feel that any discussion about what they did should both include praise for not bowing to the crowd and allowing their lives and property be put into jeopardy, but also a wake up call to the rest of us that just because we have all these fancy toys locked away in the house it doesn't mean we will be ready for whatever life throws at us.
You know I would be more inclined to give them a break for the things they lack if I didn't A: have a container full of bullets from "unloaded" firearms, most of which that were actually unloaded after being pointed at my person. And B: if even half the people who did such expressed any remorse or apologetic attitudes, instead of the snark I normally receive.I fall on the side of "give these people a break".

But you can't must ignore the other half of the equation.
