Yep. When you look at news reports and online videos of self defense shootings, it seems like most of the self defenders are more like the mom and daughter in the liquor store in Oklahoma than they are like tactical gurus.
The encounters are so close, having a weapon handy and being unwilling to be a victim is more important than marksmanship training, house clearing tactics, yada, yada. The extra training makes us more comfortable with the weapon, but may not help with actual SD.
