Most people do not handle stress well either and get flustered when under pressure

Yup.

As a matter of clarity, if you have your firearm drawn and you're pointing it at me, I'm even less concerned.

I'm more scared of the idiot that fumbles with their weapon. If you're pointing it at me properly, you could have already shot me but have decided not to - at least at that time.

To be clear, I don't like firearms pointed at me. I've also dealt with numerous idiots pulling out a firearm in front of me and pointing it in my general direction - even if just because they're morons. I take it from them. I take it from them in a manner that means they can't stop me from taking it from them. I then remove the rounds and put the firearm up. They can have it back when they leave. Most likely, they'll be leaving shortly.

I do this because I have to. I once watched a buddy accidentally shoot another buddy in the stomach - which was an agonizing death.

I no longer suffer fools with firearms. I have the training and the repetition of the exercises to take a firearm from anyone. Hell, if I'm within 6' of a police officer, I can take their firearm too. Given how twitchy cops are, I might actually do it, remove the ammunition, and hand it back to him while complying with his intended orders.

If you are going to point a firearm at someone you may as well shoot them

i wanted to make sure I wasn't talking out my ass. (That my memory was good.)

I still recall all those drills all this many years later.

If you don't choose to shoot me immediately, you missed your chance.

Now, someone trained with their firearm can easily make the right choices. They won't get close enough for me to harm them. They also won't panic.

I'm not worried about a trained person. Like I said, if they have a bead drawn on me, they already decided not to kill me. We can negotiate down from there, but they'd have already killed me if killing me was their goal.

I can hear the plow truck from way up here at my house.

We still have the same plow guy. I fucking love him. He works for the state of Maine, for MDOT. On his antenna, he has mounted a pirate flag. He drives his plow at like 60 mph and gives zero fucks. Literally, you can find him hitting 60 mph.
