Prepare, yes, but ...
In a gunfight, I'd rather be lucky than good.
Fate doesn't care how much you've trained.

Criminals, particularly gang members, are normally not frightened of being confronted by a citizen with a firearm
convicts often have nothing better to do to keep busy in prison but to practice taking guns away from you by distracting you and executing well-rehearsed moves
Those people need to watch the movie "In Cold Blood" (or read the book) Even when the criminals are executed, you don't feel good about it even tho' they deserved it by anybody's definition -- just maybe numb or a little sick.The people who came up with the duty to retreat doctrine had no realistic idea of what violent attackers actually do or how they act, how a normal human responds while being attacked or what happens in a violent confrontation.
Second, bad guys are lazy- otherwise they would have jobs.
Willie Lowman said:The constant use of "Bad Guy" to identify and describe a particular person is in itself ignorant. Are they bad as soon as they wake up or is this something that only applies during particular activities? If someone has a job but does bad things on the weekend are they bad 24/7 or only on Saturday and Sunday?
some bad guys even shoot better than your average cop.
IF the bad guys were "all" such good shots, why is it that 10-25% of the victims seem to be innocent bystanders?

I know how many rounds I fired learning to move and shoot and hit movig targets.
The number of hood rats with similar training and practice is most likely vanishingly small.
