I will whole hearted agree with this. I've had a gun pointed at me one time in my life and I will never forget it. And this was from a distance, from another car.

I hope I never have to face a situation where I am awakened in the night to an intruder. I try to prepare, try to condition but in the end it is a frightful situation that in no way can I really be prepared for.

I actually had a dream the other night that I was faced with an intruder and had to discharge my 9mm. Even in the dream there was an instance of hesitance. I did fire and shot him in the head.. In real life, well that's another story..
