Right. Consider a "highwayman" or mugger situation. The victim is 
walking or riding along, thinking about getting home to watch Oprah or 
Judge Judy. The "highwayman" is lurking hidden, with his gun out and 
ready, when he says "Stick 'em up!" The victim is very unlikely to be 
able to pull off a quick draw and defense shot.

Yes, I know there are quick draw artists. But even practicing to get 
enough real skill to use against such a mugging (as opposed to play 
acting or contests) seems to indicate some mental weirdness.
