Have you ever been unexpectedly stuck staring down the barrel of a gun being held by someone who clearly states he has no qualms about shooting you if you don't cooperate?
Outside of military-style preparation or perhaps police academy work, I believe it's impossible to predict how anyone would respond in such circumstances. I also found it challenging to assess how I responded for weeks, if not months, afterward. Simple answers rarely suffice.
When I tell the story now, I usually present the situation for laughs. Why not? If you can't find the humor, then you don't fully understand it.
My understanding exceeds the platitudes and soundbites of your average person protesting for their "rights."
