If a day comes when you have to protect yourself, things go from everyday standard, to total chaos
in very few seconds. It becomes surreal your reflexes and shooting abilities are only half as good as your best day at the range, if that.
Some will fold up, drop their gun and run, some will shoot and hit nothing, left frozen w/ a empty gun. Some will end the treat and survive.
Mindset is paramount, training is second to develop the skills needed.
Think about the last time in your life during a emergency, who reacted to save the day, who stood there dumbstruck. Everyone has a unique mindset,
which one are you ? Two police officers were killed by one gunmen during an arrest of the driver. A passenger came out, gun in hand and began firing,
the cops froze with fear allowed this guy to execute them without ever firing a shot.
What makes me an authority ? I'm not, I know a little about how some people react to "Fear" .. Over the course of several years I have witnessed the reactions of many people and many cops, and have seen the best and worst come out in emergencies and life or death situations that required immediate reaction.
It's funny that this subject "Fear" usually don't come up a lot, wonder why that is ? Are we unwilling to admit we all have fear ? It seems it's all about
training to hit the target, clearing jams ect. .. First it should be how to overcome and control the biggest problem, "FEAR"
