One eye or both eyes when shooting?

Only takes seconds of being shot at on both sides for your brain to tell you I want to see all around open your eyes dummy before we die.

    Early on I know I used one eye (left) and now I use both from conscious practice. What is taught as the proper way in a defense situation?

Agreed!

I don't have proper binocular vision. I was born with crossed eyes and had surgery to correct the condition but my brain never learned to combine the images. I can see with either eye but only one at a time, so when I shoot, I'm only really shooting with one eye. I don't close the other but the image from the other eye doesn't complicate my sight picture, either. I still have peripheral vision from the other eye, but sights that use the Bindon aiming concept like the fiber illuminated ACOGs just work like regular scopes for me.

Had LASIK mono vision surgery last so I can only shoot with one eye open.
