OMG, Now What?

A lot of individuals want to maintain the Christian attitude of turning the other cheek when they are met with aggression, but this is not always a plausible thing to do. When we are met with immediate danger, it is often necessary to draw a weapon, but it is our responsibility to know how to use it. Many people have the intention of just wounding and subduing the perpetrator as opposed to killing them, but unfortunately, this doesn’t always go as planned. Years of desensitization have distorted our reality when it comes to owning and operating firearms.

Key Takeaways:

In confrontations leading to deadly force, the gut reaction to shoot to make it stop, not to kill.
If you fire your weapon in a self-defense situation, understand that police intervention is inevitable and that they are just doing their job.
Don’t make a statement without your lawyer, leave the scene, or tamper with evidence.

“This is also the map of the trail that is going to play out in your life going forward. Like the 5 steps of grief each must be examined under a microscope and defined ad nauseum before moving on to the next step.”
