You get 10 seconds of courage. BUT, the average firearms exchange lasts about 3 seconds. During that time good guys and bad guys are driven by adrenaline… not reason. AND, during that time training (or lack thereof) takes over. The field-of-fire is confusing.
If, you punch out a friendly, your life changes forever. It isn’t on you… it’s on the bad guy. (Check out “proximate cause.”) If you had not been there… things would have gone a lot differently… A LOT DIFFERENTLY!
Ah… but, you couldn’t know how differently… nor could anyone else.
