No, that's what people who have firefight experience say. They should
know, since they've been through it. Sitting here at my desk, I can
well imagine the variety of thoughts I might have: Is my life in
danger? Would it better to hide? Am I confident I will hit the bad
guy? Am I *certain* I won't shoot a bystander?

Until you've faced it in real life, you just don't know what you'd do.
Training or experience in using firearms doesn't prepare you for the
*decision* of whether to shoot at a person.
