What I mean specifically have you ever been in a situation where you are in very sudden physical danger where you are forced to react without thinking? This is called fight or flight and it is a real phenomenon. People will auto response fight, run or freeze. Its not a conscious decision because there is no time for evaluation.

Its something you have no control over. No matter your personality or what you think of yourself you don't know what kind of man you are until tested. I actually feel bad for a man who will never know who he is in this manner. I think many people go through their whole lives never being tested in this way.

I was working a club and the crowd refused to leave after closing due to fights. About 100 ppl mingling and gravitating towards wherever the action was in the parking lot. I was 20 feet from an ex bouncer from this club, who was pulling an AR from the back of his trunk, as he was involved in some of these altercations, and was drunk and screaming he was going to 'clear the lot'. As soon as he lifted the rifle from the trunk, shots rang out from very close behind me. I hit the ground and started scrambling backwards, away from my ex coworker with the rifle. It turned out to be the police that were doing the shooting.... Not sure if I was running, fighting, or what, but I definitely wasn't freezing.

Ex coworker ended up shot 9 times, and lived. He sued the city and won 3 mil, as police never announced their presence.
