Thanks @ilikemoderation. It's sad that people like harperfan7 have this kneejerk reaction to a gun owners. He/she/them/helicopter just blankets a whole group of good folks for wanting to have the option of defending themselves or their family as blood thirsty killers.
And yes firearms have been used in countless instances of self defense but hey, that doesn't fit the media's portrayal of gun owners...so it is rarely reported.
I'd be calling myself a blood thirsty killer in that case. I think if someone breaks into your home or otherwise tries to harm or rob you, they're fair game, and yes I'd enjoy it.
Personally I'd hope that the mere sight of a 12 gauge bore being pointed at them would be persuasion enough. I don't want to take a life from anyone. But I would do what had to be done if need be.
I would much rather punch holes in paper.
I'm never going to aim a weapon at something I don't fully intend to kill. Not unless mission parameters call for it, which will never be the case in self-defense.
Yeah, but take a motherfucker alive, let the spooks work him over, he talks about his friends. Then it's less like getting one bad guy outta the pool, and more like dropping some chlorine in it instead.
I would never aim a gun a something I didn’t intend to kill, however that doesn’t mean I want to or enjoy killing it. As a hunter, I shoot deer with arrows, I don’t want to take the life of the animal, I want the meat and want population control. I don’t want to kill it but I fully intend to and will do so. Same thing with home defense. I don’t want to kill another person, but I will if I have to
