But will I depend on that when I am being robbed? Maybe not. I trained almost continously before the incident and realistically, I froze. Plain and simple. Does that make my training useless? Not really. Does that make real training (I didnt pay for mine, so I guess its not the same) uselss? Once again, No. Does that make me useless? Potentially, yes. I guess it matters on the person, not the situation or training.

In regards to the other stuff: I didnt say he wasnt a hero. Im saying I am a coward. Not fun to admit it, but strictly speaking, I am.

BTW Abnk, PM me with your running results. That thread had some potential, but died pretty quick!

DH, heroes are made by situations not born. Every shooting that I personally have been involved in always seemed in slow motion even though things were happening quickly. Sub conscious training was running the show (Thank God) but my slow mo conscious was in the oh shit this isn't really happening mode but I can only speak from my own personal experiences.
