But what are you going to do in this situation where it's darked out?

And cool, you can see your sights, but you can't identify with any level of accuracy and precision what somebody may have in their hands.

It's going to be a problem.

And you want to talk about a level of anxiety and uncertainty?

Man, live in that moment for a bit with, again, the totality of what may happen even just legally from a decision that you make.

on incomplete information.

So, food for thought.

Half of every day is at night, everyone.

I have, it's across the table, I have a flashlight on my pistol.

I almost never use it.

In full disclosure, my pistol almost never comes out of the fanny pack that it's currently sitting in, except for when I'm doing a press check, making sure that everything's still going, making sure my battery's good on my red light, making sure my battery's good on my flashlight, and putting it right back into the fanny pack.

I do that quite often, but there's a reason why I have all those things and why I do those checks.

It's so it allows me a level of functionality regardless of the environment that I go into.

There's some other things you have to think about in these environments, backdrop being one of them.

If a person maneuvers into the middle of a room and they have people behind them, how comfortable are you taking a shot in that environment?

Is it possible that you could injure others in the attempt to stop somebody?

Yes.

And I'm not going to tell you whether or not you should do that.

I will just say that there is a reason why you should train and be as capable as possible.

I'm not even gonna answer as to whether or not I would take that shot or not.
