I think I explained that~But here goes again~I walked around a corner in a hallway of a hospital, ya know they didn't issue me see through wall vision with the uniform.
I worked in hospitals for nearly 30 years, and every one I ever went into had mirrors on the corners so people would NOT run into each other. Maybe yours was different. I don't know. Yes, someone can sneak up on us in many ways and in many places, but most of us don't get any "call" or warning at all. We have to be situationally aware enough to avoid as much surprise as possible all by ourselves. Maybe you were counting on a "call" or warning a bit too much?
and that he accidentally pulled the trigger when jumped. Considering his lack of record and what his wife had to say I believed him. Drawing on him would have been STUPID, my best option was to talk until I could get a chance to grab the gun, or he gave it to me or other. The old man forced the situation trying to be a hero.
Not really... the old man had no way to read the mind of the man with the gun. He could just as easily have saved your life. This was a negligent discharge at best since the guy with the shotgun obviously had his finger on the trigger. Don't place blame on the wrong person, driven by hindsight.
