I always think about that event when something like this happens; what would I do now? I don't think it would be much different and I'm pretty sure that's for most of us, armed or not.

That's exactly why people train for events -- so they wont freeze. Doesn't matter whether it's a musical instrument, brain surgery, or igniting a nuclear missile. If you don't dress rehearse then you are much more likely to get stage fright or fumble the ball.
Go to the range and shoot a lot of rounds at life-size targets. Learn to pull the pistol from your purse and get it on target and ready to fire before a man can lunge at you. There's no time for fumbling.
