One trains so that he acts without effort or deliberation without involving the usual senses that will be preoccupied.
I believe other posters nailed it with the gun handling observations. Many "lifelong shooters" (the pudknockers one sees at Sportsman's Warehouse waving pistols about or cycling a repeating rifle at his waist) have absolutely no idea how to run their gear and as Clint Smith sez most people get in trouble because they do not know how to run their gear not because they do not know how to shoot.
Training also addresses the problem of "even a tiger sleeps". If you realize that your training is fecklss if you are sawing logs like the Three Stooges, then you will plan on early warning systems (metal doors and frames, dogs, geese, what have you) to give you time.
Anywho beginning training is just the starting point. However, it is an important starting point.
Have you considered TR's "Home and Vehicle Defense" class, Tall? I think it's right up your alley (or is that hallway?).
