Your turn is always second.

I think one can train or plan for the “unusually bad” scenario by simply practicing with their gun. What I mean by that is, if you believe a gun is the tool you’d use in that situation, you’d be best served by being absolutely familiar and comfortable with its use. If your training and muscle memory are good enough that you can essentially operate on autopilot, you probably have a better chance of dealing with the threat while you are wounded, in pain, slick with blood, etc. The individual scenarios are too varied to worry about overmuch. They will all lack realism because you can’t truly simulate the pain and incapacitation of a wound.

My point is that I tend to foresee myself like that picture of Harry -- whole, able, upright, and intent on dealing justice to the wicked...

That is not a lawful objective for either a private citizen or a sworn officer.

Should you ever have to use your firearm in the gravest extreme, your having made that statement in a permanent, discoverable post in a public forum could prove extremely damaging to your case, as it could go to state of mind.

You can play fantasy movies to yourself in your own mind, but do not describe such on social media, forums such as this one, email, letters, or artwork. Doing so could tip the scales and destroy a legal defense of self defense.

First of all, my statement "dealing justice to the wicked" refers to Harry Callahan, not me. Second, my statement taken in full context goes on to describe how any such tendency on my part to see myself like Harry is badly mistaken.

Your comment was "i tend to foresee myself like...dealing justice to the wicked".

It would be used verbatim, and not discussed in of any larger context.

It would have to be used in full, not with your ellipsis and it could not be taken out of context without objection.

Unconscious competence.

The stages of competence are:

• Unconsciously incompetent. Not competent and unaware how significant the level of incompetence is.
• Consciously incompetent. Not competent but beginning to understand how much improvement is necessary.
• Consciously competent. Competent, but only when focusing on the task at hand. Able to shoot when actually thinking about lining up the sights, squeezing the trigger, concentrating on not flinching.
• Unconsciously competent. Able to operate competently when focusing on other issues. Able to shoot with skill without consciously thinking about operating the trigger and lining up the sights.

Do you really believe that such an objection would be sustained? On what basis would your attorney object?

We have seen that one single statement, one sentence, or one single line on a chart from your training file written by someone else, can be repeated and repeated with great impact from the opening statement to the closing sargument. Attempting to explain it would most probably only increase the emphasis on it.

Just drop it. I'm not going to be intimidated by the permanence of the record where I correctly stated a tendency to a certain self-perception is mistaken and went on at length to explain the error. Perhaps your reading comprehension is lacking, but your comments aren't adding anything to the subject of the thread.

Rover, what has been posted has been posted. What will be will be.

I suggest that inn the future, before you post anything anywhere, you consider very carefully how iit may be used or misused to your detriment. Especially when discussions infolving the use or deadly force are involved, the stakes are high.

In the ST&T forum, there is a sticky post on this subject.

This has generated more heat than light since it began. I see no reason to keep it open.
