Stay Out of Cheney's Sights

[topoftheworld]

Remember when, in first year, we were taken out for our "gun" training?

When I put the shotgun to my shoulder and pulled the trigger, I fell over backwards. Not because of the recoil-but because the sound that close immediately gave me a flashback to the sound of the gun being fired at me from the robbery I went through years earlier. The instructor asked me what was wrong, 'cause my face had gone white and he could see how shaken I was. When I explained what happened, he had me fire the gun again. Sure enough, the second time was much easier and less frightening.

I'll always be glad he did for me. I've had other circumstances that I've had to deal with by facing the same scenario again, and there's never been a repeat of what made the first go so wrong.

Not to compare with your scare, but maybe some solace in helping your decision to try it again. :)
