William Petty – Gunfights Around Cars
Recently there was a video released at a trial in Pennsylvania where two troopers were trying to arrest a suspect and he resisted. The suspect ended up shooting both of the officers and then fled the scene. Luckily they survived. How does this happen? According to a 2014 study, 83% of officers who are killed in the line of duty die conducting self-initiated activity in or around vehicles. That is an alarming statistic as I can tell you from personal experience that 83% of our training is not from a vehicle. So what can a law enforcement officer or civilian do? I include civilians since aggravated assaults and robberies also are around vehicles.
My guest is William Petty from Centrifuge Training. William specializes in teaching close quarter vehicle tactics and his program is a data driven exercise in what works and what doesn’t when in a gunfight around a car.
William and I discuss the Pennsylvania shooting with his takeaways on tactics that would have helped the troopers as well as another shooting of cops in Sacramento. William also gives away a list of actionable ideas you can implement into your arsenal and ways for you to win in a vehicle gunfight.

You would have to ask him.
[…] Although the majority of standard consumer vehicles will not stop a bullet, there are locations with more mass that might stop a bullet. However, using a vehicle for cover in a real life scenario will likely not be as sexy as it appears on YouTube. Although, the guy in the video below did a really good job. For more information on fighting in and around vehicles, check out some of Will Petty’s courses and his interview here. […]
