How to Stay Calm in an Armed Encounter

We all pray that we never have to discharge our firearms in defense of our lives or the lives of someone else. Hell, most of us pray we never even have to draw our firearms. Unfortunately, I’ve had to a couple of times, though you have no idea how thankful I am that I didn’t have to pull the trigger either time.

In both cases, I was anything but cool and calm. Not internally, anyway. I had a million thoughts running through my head and my heart was racing. I was scared that everything was going to blow up in my face and someone I cared about would end up dead, even me.
