so by drawing 2nd and firing immediately, you may surprise the BG.

If you watch robbery videos, the BG sometimes gets focused on the cash drawer,
and he thinks he has everyone under control. That's when he very well may not
notice your draw.

YMMV.

It isn't always a losing proposition, like this one from August (with video).

For a guy who never shot a gun before, he did great drawing on a drawn
