I want to post a couple of examples of intense situations that actually have happened to my immediate family. I just wanted to share these experiences to impress that one must maintain responsible gun safety even when under a great deal of stress.
When my father was in his mid forties he awoke in our home to the smell of cigarettes and footsteps in the kitchen. He grabbed his bedside S&W mod 36 and investigated. When he rounded the corner of the hallway, the sights on his revolver settled on the chest of his best friend's daughter. She was on drugs and had let herself into our Rural home. All turned out fine, but we cringe at the thought of what could have happened.
Another instance was when my father-in-law heard voices in his home based business. He grabbed a shotgun and investigated the voices. As he searched his showroom, a naked young woman broke through the ceiling. He admitted that it was a miracle that he didn't fire the gun when the ceiling came down. The young woman had been drugged and raped in an attic storage room with outside access. The young men that were responsible went to prison for a long time.
I read much about training to shoot an intruder, but little about training to keep your cool.
Can anyone relate?
