exactly. carrying a concealed weapon regularly may mentally empower you, but unless you're conditioned to draw and shoot at the first sign of a threat, you're probably going to get your head kicked in by the three punks on the corner before you know what's happening. losing 60-70% of motor function to alarm is seriously going to screw you up. if anyone's been in a car accident, think about how you freeze and grip the wheel instead of driving through it. and i'm no HSLD professional trainer, or IPSC champion, so i honestly don't know what i'd do in a situation like that. just trying to clarify the fact that getting a permit and carrying a gun isn't going to prevent you from getting stomped on by someone who's decided to attack you.
