Thank you for the insight. I think the thing to consider is can most church security team members really draw in 1.5 seconds. I know our church is very sensitive to our congregation. They don't want firearms visible to the congregation at all. Given this requirement, open carry or shoulder holsters are out of the question. So I wear a IWB Super Tuk type holster with my dress shirt tucked over it. This obviously causes some issues drawing. This increases draw time as you have to pull your dress shirt up and out of the way to draw. I would imagine the 21-foot rules was calculated using a normal police retention holster. That is very different than how we have to carry on our church security team.
Most people cannot draw and shoot from concealed within 1.5 seconds. You’ll have to add decision making in there too. So, 21 feet will be greatly expanded past 40’. Each instance is unique and up to the individual to justify what they’ve done.
