I had an experience that totally changed me from a LMOE (last-man-on-earth gun fanatic) to a regular 'leave it in the safe' kind of gun owner. It was just on dark and i was leaving my mates house, went down the stairs and i got my keys out. The rattle saved my life. Just as i neared my car a scumbag in a hoody charged me, armed with a 10' screwdriver. I had 1.5 seconds to react, luckily my brain didnt say "find a weapon". Somehow i sidestepped him and lent backwards.
No amount of weapon training or owning 500 firearms would have helped. My point is, you may not get a chance so don't place all your faith in your marksmanship.
The hood evidently just wanted out and I'd inadvertently blocked him in while he was trying to break into my car. 10 seconds later i was telling myself to stop chasing him HAHA. Adrenalin makes you do dumb things eh.
