Re: Using Deadly Force

I think it is good to give some thought to the "what if" situations. Most likely, if any of us ever have to pull our weapon we will be in a situation where we are afraid that we, or a loved one, are in serious danger of death or bodily injury if we do not use deadly force. I consider this situation to be a no brainer. In my opinion, to not shoot someone who is about to kill or injure you is counter to every instinct God has given us.
Where it gets a little more muddy, is whether we would draw our weapon and potentially use deadly force to stop a crime, prevent our truck from being stolen, stop a robbery, or something similar. These things become judgment calls and at least giving some thought to how you would react in one of these situations is a good idea. While most situations are best left in the hands of law enforcement, are you going to stand by and let someone else be victimized if you could stop it? A lot of complicated questions, arise from the moral and legal ramifications of getting involved or not.
