It's no easier either if it someone you grew up with, I had to draw on an old friend and was prepared to shoot.
Shakes you up a little,but if you have been preparing your mind for a self-defense situation I believe it wouldn't be so difficult.
I think the mental training is just as important if not more so in some ways than the physical training.
Total stranger,not to sound cold would be a lot easier for me to put a round or three into than my friend I grew up with.
That was in May and I still run that situation through my head, if I didn't have protection from the Lord and my gun that night I'd be dead.
Exactly correct IMO. Ongoing mental prep is a must for several reasons. Besides the obvious which is self defense, it prepares one to not have the emotional carryover or at least minimize it to some degree.
