I agree with everything except carry in condition 3. Treat every gun as loaded. I would rather have a sister in a whorehouse than an empty chamber in a gunfight.

Oh and night sights are a rip off. There are three components to positive identification
One that you have an actual target
Two the target is a threat
Three your background if you miss or the bullet transverses the body.

Take the nightsight money and buy a 65+ lume flashlight and carry that as well. If you have it you can always use it or explain why you didn't. If you don't have it then you don't have that option.

Psychological battles are bullshite. If you have to psychologically battle yourself you will hesitate. If you want to see what losing a gunfight looks like go look at some autopsy photos. Being that guy sucks so that covers the psychological battle.

When the police get there tell them you feared for your life and you want an attorney. Join the NRA and buy the concealed carry Insurance.

You're set

Notice I suggested carrying condition 3 for only a week to build confidence.

I carried condition 0 (chamber loaded, no safety) from the very beginning but I have been around firearms my whole life. If someone is not all that confident, he or she may be nervous about having the gun on them loaded. Hence, the suggestion to only do it for a week. Yea, you run the risk of encountering a threat but until you get the confidence up it's going to scare you.

Maybe someone like you is able to not second guess decisions but a decision as important as taking a human life will spend a lot of time in my head. I hope I never have to cross that bridge but to pretend I would act like I simply stepped on a cockroach is untrue.

Humans don't want to kill other humans. It will be harder for a regular lay person since he or she has not been exposed to death very much (unless you have been in LE or the military).

That all being said, I still wouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger. Well, I obviously won't know until I'm in that scenario, but I'm 99% sure I would pull the trigger. I can never be 100% certain since every situation is so different.
