If you are justified in shooting, then shooting seems a natural extension of the action.
I'm not sure what that means.

If you are justified in drawing your gun and shooting, you must be in fear of your life, or serious injury. It just seems to me that practice is drawing and firing, as all in one smooth action. To try to break this process down into digital steps seems incongruent with that process. It seems to me if I have time to not shoot in order to ameliorate the situation, then it really is not yet to that point where I am truly in fear of my life. I might be scared, but I have yet to accept that my life is on the line.If I reach that point it seems obvious that it is time to draw ... and if I have practiced squeezing the trigger as part of that draw in order to place my shot center of mass, it all seems as one smooth action that is done without thinking during the process ... it is m
'muscle memory' as some put it here ... if I am understanding the term. The 21 foot rule seems to be the point that a threat is considered very serious to ones life if confronted by an armed assailant. It seems said that it is difficult to draw and fire before being cut in the best of cases. Why would one pause, even a microsecond, to see if the threat has altered his/her path ?
