Witnessed an attempted murder, I'll give him a pass on shaking. Unimaginable horror can do that.

And witnessed terrified people (and their baby!) running from an armed mob that has just attempted said murder. Definite pass

Agreed. Have a gun pulled on you and tell me how you feel afterwards. I've had it done to me, since then I decided to get one when I was previously against them.

Adrenaline dumps do that. Some bad nausea is another common effect. First time I got shot at I remember being really surprised to find myself vomiting a little while afterwards.

Yikes, I was never shot at fortunately but a loaded gun aimed at my head only feet away was enough for me to decide to buy a gun, that and the riots in my city.
