I agree with your thoughts there.
Your life depends on you remaining calm and by the step methodical.
Don’t freeze up. That’s how officers and others die.
I’ve been reading up on concealed carry. Read one story about an officer that had a semi-automatic with more clips, who froze up after emptying one magazine. He could have saved his own life with the ammo he had, but he froze up. Didn’t reload...
He hit the guy once and the guy kept on coming.
I say this for me as much as anyone else. You never know fully how you would respond.
Absolutely - I get a kick out of the "heroes" here who have all sorts of advice when they've never been tested themselves. One can hope he will comport himself well, but until the chips are really down, one never knows - sometimes the learning experience is a fatal one.
