For non-law enforcement
Most advice on this thread is right on the money IMHO. Good train of thought is, if you can articulate the threat you felt and why, you're in the right ball park self defense wise. LEO's develop a mind set that keeps us on condition yellow most of the time and stands us in good stead when bad things happen to good people. A book I once read might help those of you who don't face threats daily. I reccommend it highly to everyone. Its focus is on mind set and that is half the battle.
