Shoot only in defense of the innocent and never with an intent to kill and there will be no regrets.

Now that I had a chance to think about it I do recall that my wife had occasion to display a loaded handgun two times to men who appeared to have evil intentions toward her.
Both bolted at the sight, according to her recollection. I was not present at either event.
Had they not run away, knowing her, there would have been shooting. Now this was many years back, but thank God they ran and also thank God she had a handgun with which to protect herself.
I wonder how many of us have had similar encounters where the mere display of a weapon may have saved our lives or prevented harm.

Good, get rid of the garbage.
That's happened to a lot of people, me included. Lots of shootings in Reno.

If I am ever involved in shooting someone my lawyer, a therapist, and a support group would likely be the only people I discuss it with.
I sincerely hope that day never comes even it is a rightest shot.

No, but I should have.
I remember watching this story on the news (which means it's probably a lie) in the early days of the war in Viet-Ghanistan.
They did a study on service members both from Vietnam and Afghanistan who were known to have killed somebody in the line of duty.
According to the study soldiers who were adherents to a religion that involved some ritual of confession and absolution had a lower instance of PTSD.
The specific religion didn't matter as long as they had a way to confess their "sins" and receive forgiveness.

Our very long-term contract shrinks at the NMSP always recommended talking to someone trusted post-shooting, especially for folks with a church life, and pointed out that priest/penitient (there is much case law on who is a 'priest' within the meaning of the privilege) statements are 'privileged' (protected from disclosure). They also recommended writing in a non-police way about what happened and how you felt.
The New Mexico rule on this privilege is 11-506 NMRA. It's different in other states.

One night a guy stole my briefcase.....
True story a trainer that I used to get training was use that clip as an example of shooting from retention. That's the first time I ever saw it and I'd never seen the movie. Shortly after we get streaming TV I found the movie somewhere and I watched it.
I swear to you if that wasn't the dumbest movie I've ever seen in my life it had to be in the top five. I am so glad I didn't pay for it
It's Classified
Sigh. But if it's 'classified,' did you report it to the classifying agency? That stuff sometimes interests them.

A friend shot (and killed) his sister with a 22 rifle his dad left loaded when he was 10 or 12. He died an alcoholic in his 60's, went to prison twice (for other things) and did not have a happy life.
His nickname was Crazy Bobby.

I think me and you stayed at the same hotel. I believe it was the Continental. The breakfast bar was incredible but I do wish they would leave a mint on the pillow.
