Jared is a beast, and could give the Terminator a run for their money, in terms of being hard to kill.

I’ve heard him speak at a conference about his shooting with the shoplifter. This one is definitely near the top of my training list this year.

Jared is a beast, and could give the Terminator a run for their money, in terms of being hard to kill.

I watched his video "Winning an Armed Encounter with Jared Reston | Edited CCW Version" on YouTube that @jrm sent out, huge eye opener for civilians like myself on the realities of law enforcement. He is an absolute beast, insane he was back to work in 6 months after the incident.

For anyone interested that isn't familiar, Jared got shot 7 times by a .45 caliber Glock, first in his jaw that exited through his neck, returned fire and killed the shooter. In his talks he walks through the takeaways, importance of training for muscle memory (i.e. punch the gun out and pick up front sight, drive on torso), bad guy took multiple rounds as well but kept approaching until he punched his lights out (Jared fired 14 rounds, bad guy fired 12), he also talks through getting shot / how meat / bone / body armor react, the physical recovery & the mental implications. Worth watching multiple times.
