Perhaps it would be very educational if, at one of those CCW classes that started to drift too much toward war stories about "can I shoot", if the cadre arranged for a mock shoot including the realistic follow-up. Cuff, stuff, bag the hands etc. There's no way to simulate ALL the stuff that would happen post shoot. But 15 minutes worth of simulation might be a lot of insight.
No simulation or lecture can give an accurate sense of what it's like to live the rest of your life knowing you've ended someone else's life. But we might be able to instill, at least to some people, the idea that actively trying to avoid having to shoot someone is the main goal. Not developing a catalog of when it's "ok to shoot".
It's never "OK".
