Liberal vs. Conservative vs. Southerner
Scenario: You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, raises the knife, and charges. You are carrying a Glock 45 and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do?
Liberal Answer:
Well, that's not enough information to answer the question! Does the man look poor or oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack? Could we run away? What does my wife think? What about the kids? Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? What does the law say about this situation?
Does the Glock have appropriate safety built into it? Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children? Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me? Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me? If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me?
Should I call 9-1-1? Why is this street so deserted? We need to raise taxes, have a paint and weed day and make this a happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior.
This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for a few days and try to come to a consensus.

I’m from Texas. I’ve got the .40 with the high cap magazine.
I like that one!
Barrett Rifles: Headquartered in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, Barrett Firearms Manufacturing is the world’s leader in large-caliber rifle design and manufacturing. Well-known for .50 caliber rifles, the company now produces rifles in .416 Barrett and 6.8 SPC calibers and is a growing innovator in the design and production of optics for long-range shooters.
There was a thread earlier today about an unarmed former Marine who was confronted by a knife weilding assailant in New Orleans. He took the knife away from him and bashed his skull open on the concrete curb.

Speaking of southern stories...
A few weeks ago a friend was driving home in suburban Atlanta (nor rural, but the suburbs) and hit a deer (badly damaged his car, but nobody hurt.) He got out and saw the deer was still moving, but hurt so bad it wasn’t going to make it.
A car stops and the guy rolls down his window and asks if they need any help. They say no, but they feel bad about the deer suffering. The guy in the car says “Y’all stand back”, pulls out a rifle, and shoots the deer dead (never leaving the driver’s seat of his car), says “Y’all have a good one”, and drives off.
They processed the deer.
And the victim goes to jail because the perp was black?
The Springfield Armory XD-M, perhaps? I’m buying one in the morning...
