Both of us have been around a lot of firearms as well as firearm training. As you know, squeezing the trigger is the first rule of firearm accuracy. In the Marine Corps their is a premium placed on being able to accurately shoot a firearm and substantial training in that regard.
I have also been involved in numerous firefights and have never seen a Marine squeeze a trigger under those conditions. Keep in mind, these Marines had also been involved in numerous fire fights.
It is scary to think what would happen if armed and semi-trained civilians ever had to pull out their guns in a highly charged situation. Someone may get shot but it may not be the bad guy.
