Thanks for the post, counselor. I had an almost similiar experience several months ago that ended with the knife-wielder running away after I showed my undrawn weapon. I wrote about it here. I definitely concur with the writer of your episode. After an experience like that, a lot of retrospection goes on as you consider what you did and didn't do. My main conclusion was to practice point shooting at close range. For the past several months, I practice at least once a week at 5 to 10 feet along with my normal aimed shooting. I've gotten pretty good at it and feel a lot more comfortable.
Thanx again for your post.
