OK, lets get down to the nitty gritty.
I have a buddy who teaches self defence, and he tells me that mentally, you have to have already given yourself permission to use deadly force in certain instances, of you might freeze, not wanting to HURT/KILL someone and end up dead yourself.
Its easy to say I would shoot someone, but for those of us, like myself, who wouldnt hurt a fly, this becomes a big issue. I can truthfully say, I dont know if I could actually shoot someone or not. One incident I was involved in makes me think so, but you never know for sure unless you have done it.
Are there any books, articles or training geared to overcoming these types of issues.
