How does one really prepare for such until they are actually have experienced it.
So, it’s from brave hero, deserving of thanks and a free drink, to inept conscript with a big mouth, unequal to his task?

The responsibility one assumes when choosing to discharge a firearm in public is indescribably huge. One absolutely must do it right, or be awfully damn lucky, and cannot expect a participation trophy along with a free pass for costly mistakes.


Be very careful.
That pedestal is very tall, falling is bound to hurt.


I hope to never attract the attention of a DA.
If I ever do, I hope it is one who lives in the real world, one who understands

Almost paralyzed with fear?
Reckless. Firing indiscriminately.


Standing on the porch shooting 4 or 5 people in the head, one shot each?
Murder.
He couldn't have been truly in fear and shot that well.


Sorry Counselor,
Real life at 2AM, taking rounds, isn't a law school hypothetical,
