Surviving the Aftermath of a Self-Defense Shooting Guide

Engaging in a self-defense shooting is likely to be the single most traumatic event of your life. Physiologically you will be riding an uncontrollable adrenaline surge and experiencing symptoms common in a fight-or-flight situation, from tunnel vision to auditory shutdown. Making the correct decisions in this state will be difficult, but doing so can mean the difference between a calm and professional encounter with the police and a ride to the station in handcuffs. A mistake now could cause you to deal with years of legal proceedings, pay extravagant damages in a civil suit or even spend time in prison.
