I didn't teach firearms really - I wasn't the guy who came out with an M16 and show people how to use it. I was an instructor at AITS (Advanced Infantry Training School) which taught combat tactics to staff NCOs and officers.
However, everyone thinks they are James Bond and can respond to a tactical situation with no problems. Some people will lock up with pure fear, and others will not be able to pull the trigger because the possibility of taken a stranger's life when they don't know all of the facts stops them - Are you shooting the bad guy or are you shooting an off duty police officer who is trying to take out the shooter, or if you are in your house are you taking aim at the robber or your armed neighbor who saw someone break into your house?
You break into my house at 3am and set off my alarm, the local police would be able to respond quicker than I would. By the time I woke up and figured out what was going on it would be over.
