That decision comes with an incredible amount of responsibility and there may come a day that one will find oneself in a position in which they have no desire to be. That being said (importance of training) it is my humble opinion that I have to know my limitations. Trying to operate outside those limitations may have disastrous consequences for me and others. I guess all I'm saying here (let me again stress I am speaking only for me) is that training is important and Heaven Forbid I am ever put in a situation such as the one being discussed here; but if I am, I need to assess all possible information before acting (including my own limitations) and do whatever I can, when I can, within my ability. If I haven't trained enough to successfully handle that situation, that is something with which I'll have to live for the rest of my life and and is something which I sincerely hope to never experience.
I am with you I think training is very important and I hope I am never put in a situation were I have to take another mans life.
