There isn’t always time to debate equipment choices in a high-risk situation. If you’re facing uncertainty, exposure, or a layout that works against you, knowing when to bring a ballistic shield matters. This isn’t about gear checklists or default loadouts.

Shoot houses are one of the only places where officers get to practice real interior problem-solving without the consequences of the real world attached to it. But a lot of teams are still training with assumptions that haven’t held up in years. Some of these myths seem harmless. Others directly slow down operator development.
