Self Defense Psychological Physiological Factorsy Deadly Weapons Force Kentucky KY

When Weapons and Deadly Force are used in Self Defense Psychological Physiological Factors effect the law of self defense.  Answering questions while you are under such stress may mean that you go to prison or that you are sued even if you were attacked or the if you were the victim of a burglar if you don't understand the law.

When a person is forced to use deadly force and deadly weapons in self defense both physiological and psychological factors and subconscious training take over and often control how the incident will turn out. 

When a person is under extreme stress such as when he is forced to use deadly force and deadly weapons there are Physiological changes to the body.  A flood of chemicals race to physiologically change how the person will react increasing strength and speed.  These chemicals also change psychological responses and contribute to the choice to fight, run or hide. This flood of chemicals happens in a very short period of time.  Still the aggressor normally already has these chemicals in his or her body for some time giving them an advantage of time over the person that must react to the attack.

While under attack a person may become cold, heart rate will increase, breathing and blood circulation will change and a number of factors occur.   Also not every person will react in the same manner physiologically.  One of the most extreme physiological reactions  happened when an armed robber in was confronted by a citizen who drew his weapon in self defense and attempted to fire his weapon in the face of the robber.   The cartridge failed to detonate and the robber fell dead from the stress of the fright.
