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.

I did not say I would try to miss. In many cases, armed robbers do not want firearm comfrontation. When they know they do not have the upper hand. they will usually flee. If they do not, I would rather have an equal option for survival.
I look at the most nightmarish scenario as being confronted with a weopon and not having one myself. IMO, armed breakins are limited due to the fact that many homeowners are armed.
