[QUOTE]Originally posted by JeffKardde: [QB] Actually, I think the question is very relevent. I wonder why you're avoiding it? Look, we've all got pictures in our minds about how we'll act in a certain situation. I'm sure in this case, you picture yourself walking down the stairs, bringing up your shotgun, and blowing them dammed intruders away while laughing "hasta la vista, baby!" Well, maybe not. But the point is, you've got a picture of yourself defending your home. [i]Cool and suave, I stepped to the entrance to my living room and cocked my Glock. The criminal freezed in mid-motion, and I saw his hand drop to the gun tucked into his waistband. "Don't do it," I warned, my voice cold and steady. He didn't heed my warning, and I placed three perfectly centered shots into his upper chest, dropping him to the floor. "Oh, darling!" my wife said, kissing me on the cheek and dragging me into the bedroom...[/i] Okay, again, maybe not. But you've got the idea, right? I'm sure you've got an idea how you'd act. Same as First, JeffR, and everyone else in here does for a similar occurance. But what Daryus is saying is that "real life" doesn't happen like we expect it too. I mean, it's sorta like ... sex. I always had this "image" of what I'd be like the first time I had sex. You know, how I'd act, how I'd make her squeal with pleasure ... and it didn't happen that way at all. It was great, but I was very nervous (okay, totally scared out of my mind), and suffice to say, nothing of how I thought I'd act happened how I'd imagine it happening. And that's [i]sex[/i], nothing to do with being prepared to shoot someone. I mean, at least in the above case, worse comes to worse, we'd both still be alive afterwards. Thats what Daryus is saying. Until you're in the situation, you can't predict how you'd react in the situation. Unless maybe you're in the military or ex-military ... then, maybe, but mostly because you'd've had quite a bit of training in tactics and thinking under less than ideal conditions. Do you disagree with that as well? [/QB][/QUOTE]
