i have felt similar feelings.

as a christian, i often struggle with hypothetical scenarios of deadly force while defending myself.

if a bg pulls a gun on me and demands my money, sometimes i feel like i should just give him my money.

after all, i can always make more money.

but, what if he takes my money and then shoots me in the head?

now, i'm broke AND dead (not that being broke when your dead means much).

so, the bg pulls his gun and demands my money and i pull my gun and the bullets start flying.

one of bg's stray bullets hits an innocent child nearby and kills her.

was my life more important than that of an innocent little girl?

in summary, it is tough carrying a concealed handgun.

personally, i think open carry would deter much more crime and eliminate some of the anxiety of carrying concealed, but that is another thread.

defending myself is an issue i struggle with often, but defending my family (or an innocent child) is something i would definitely not hesitate to do.

as a matter of fact, the primary reason i got a chl is to defend my family or to intervene on behalf of an innocent child.

of course, i hope i am never forced to do either.
