Probably a result of a career in the military, but something I do on a regular basis is think about various scenarious that would require me to use my weapon and what my response would be. I think about the location, surroundings, innocent bystanders that may or may not be present and that sort of thing. In many of the scenarious involving robbery or crimes against property the best option, for me, would be to do nothing other than observe and take info for the Police. If it evolved into a situation where somebody was in danger, then the situation changes. There are other instances where drawing and using the weapon are the best option. I guess where I'm headed is that these things are best thought about and mentally rehearsed before they happen. There's no way to ever predict all of them, but having as many of them thought out in advance, I would think, would be a good thing.
