It’s no contest for me. If pulling the trigger buys me another day, or for that matter another second, that sounds fine with me.

Of course it’s possible…but I don’t believe my family will end up at any increased risk. I’ve seen no indications of this in anything other then movies and novels. I also don’t see how me allowing a gang member to kill me is guaranteed better for my family…cpix wrote: Will they also kill your wife and family? ... I don’t consider this fear; I consider it intelligence.
Having these discussions and deciding on a general response (weapons/no weapons…shoot/no-shoot) is intelligent, no argument from me.
