people forget about the adrenaline factor when in a fight or flight situation and how poor that can make an untrained person shoot.
its nice to see a person who takes the time to learn how to use a gun properly..  |
I hear from hub all the time - "in a high pressure situation, you always revert to your most basic level of training." I guess that's why military and LE train repetitively.
I've been in that fight or flight situation with the shotgun in my hands. The only reason the idiotic 16 yr old that broke into my house didn't end up with his brains on my kitchen wall, is because I had an open door at my back.
It's amazing though, the clarity of thought and the number of things that go through your mind in a split second when faced with something like that - up to and including, "Do I *really* want to clean grey matter off the counter where I cook?"
