The average gun fight lasts 3.5 seconds. That's extremely fast, and nobody can make a decision on what they will do in that amount of time unless they've already mentally prepared for that scenario before it ever takes place. Any hesitation on your part gives the bad guy an immediate advantage. Even a delay of .5 seconds could mean the difference between life and death.

Also, be aware that if you are ever involved in a gun fight, the odds are high that you will be hit. It's not like the movies where the good guy always wins and come out without a scratch. Prepare for that possibility, also.

Once the LEOs show up, make NO sudden moves and comply with each and every command. They don't know who you are. To them, you're a man with a gun, which is a threat, and that threat must be removed for everyone's safety. Don't try to argue with them that you're a good guy - comply with their demands, allow yourself to be handcuffed, do everything they ask. That's the best way to show them you're the good guy. It'll all get straightened out.
