Good luck to anyone who is not armed for defense. I've spent years hunting and using an firearm, it does not make me a marksman, but sometimes a miss can be just as effective. When an attacker knows you are armed, it changes his perception of risk.

I know what you're saying and agree to a certain point but Jack Bauer is a fictional character and I love "24" but facing an armed attacker who is not a logical thinking person( almost always!)is very different from how TV presents it. When a person has decided to make an armed attack they are usually past the point of worrying about risk.
When you draw your weapon be preprared to kill. You must have this mindset because a split second of indecision here may be the difference between life and death. Firearms are meant to defend not deter.
It's difficult to explain the incredible adrenalin rush and instinctive thinking that a gunfight or lethal confrontation involves but if you're going to have a firearm for self defense you absolutely should prepare yourself for the most nightmarish scenario you can imagine because that's likely what you'll be dealing with.
