are all weapons loaded - says the most important safety rule. When one rifle to be secured is through the safety rules but not defined. Even in the training scene, this question is considered very controversial and trained.
to co-develop courses at the Academy DWJ interesting discussions on detailed issues in dealing with firearms. Tobias, one of the regular participants, accused recently on the issue of when a rifle was secured. This question appears at first sight appears significant. The ensuing discussion showed, however, that the answer to this question in no way should be left to run the self.
Also, the response is not defined by the 4 safety rules and can be drawn from this. According to these 4 rules every weapon is loaded. The mouth can not paint over what should not be shot at. The user touches only the trigger when the decision is made to shoot and the aim and the target background must have been positively identified.
Two philosophies
Some research shows about how controversial deal, even the training scene with this issue. There are two faiths. Some say one rifle is to be secured in principle as soon as the shoulder stock leaves the cheek of the shooter. The other view could be described thus, that the rifle is only secured in a situation in which a handgun would be inserted back into the holster.
best there so far. The human being could now walk the path of least resistance and accept at face Option 2 for himself.
followers of the philosophy are one example, trainers such as Paul Howe and James Yeager. Followers of philosophy two are handed Suarez and Kyle Lamb. These names alone show that the two philosophies is with advantages and disadvantages must vitiate and behind both a great deal of practical experience.
weapon system-related features
Looking at the (presumably) most used weapons in the tactical area, namely
the AR-15,
the AK / AKM,
the MP-5,
the SIG 55x
and maybe the G36
there are some special features in terms of security.
An AR-15 can not save in the relaxed state. A
AK / AKM can sometimes back up only when the firing hand from the grip increases.
An MP-5 requires, depending on Hand size and finger length also an easy grip.
Only the SIG and the G36 is equipped with easily available, ambidextrous safety, which can be activated at any time.
Situational characteristics
The typical situation, "secure" in the question or "not secure" is becoming increasingly important is the change from long to short weapon - the so-called transition.
reason for a transition is (and in most cases) a blank shot or dysfunctional rifle. The shooter must continue to have effect to the finish and therefore changes immediately to his handgun.
In this scenario, the long gun with a high probability "safe", meaning "unable Committee. The fuse would operate is not absolutely necessary. The AR-15 even technically impossible and an AK / AKM at least time-consuming.
In addition, there are other reasons for a transition.
For example, after a gun was used as a ballistic Aufbrechwerkzeug and Breacher again takes to his primary weapon.
Or the spatial space allow the use of a rifle not continue.
Or the small group has a wounded and evacuated the and must be one or two group members have to get their hands free, by throwing her long arms on the back. Here at the latest rifles should be secured. In a 360-degree safety rule # 2 Wounded scenario muzzle discipline is to ensure not full. Through tactical equipment to be worn next to the body and can become caught in the trigger, the risk of an unintended firing increased enormously. Therefore, the rifle must always be backed up.

A Question of Education
So the question is just when the rifle is secured. The shooting training here should set a specific time and implement this standard without making any concessions. The selected date on which the backup will be somewhere between the stop and all kinds of positions and willingness to carry conversations.
The first option that comes to mind is to secure as soon as the body leaves the cheek. So that the weapon is secured in all movements, too. Whether they're in the low-ready position remains or goes into a carrying position before the upper body or on the back or at risk of further emergence of a back into the attack and is unlocked. In fact, it is a question of education. If this movement in training practiced consistently, it becomes automatic and increases the safety level.
The downside: As described above can not save a severed AR-15. The attempt to do it but can cost in the Transition to a precious second, that matters. In an AK / AKM the movement is very ergonomic.
Conclusion
ultimately has to choose the weapons carrier itself which way it goes. The relative safety or the relative speed. Two decision aids are still called: Weapons designers have invested a lot of brain activity in security systems. You would not use it sacrilege. If the
Projectile leaves the barrel, you can retrieve it any longer. Not even if the weapon immediately after secure.
