“I can maybe take a bullet or three” sounded like such over the top bravado I was hoping it was meant tongue in cheek.

Don’t get me wrong though I was just commenting on that sentence. I am not meaning to undermine your point about police and their (lack of) aim.

Opposite of Bravado. I see myself as disposable vs most people until shown different, and most people I know who say such things as I have here and mean them seem to feel the same way about themselves. A mistake I don't live to learn from(or learn of) is less terrifying than a failure to do right by others.

I'm not saying I definitely won't just hide, cry, piss and shit myself, but I didn't do any of that(until hours later) the last few times I had guns pointed at me, and no, I don't mean by friends or due to personal shenanigans(unless you count signing on certain government forms). It has been over 15 years since the last time though.
