Thank God I have never had to face this situation, and I really don’t think I will ever have to.
Having said that, yes, I think I could shoot someone if my life or the lives of my family were in danger.
This is a very important and logical question. Could I shoot someone? Many will just blurt out YES YES.
I can tell you for a fact that it is not that easy and the aftermath is problematic.
Killing someone is final. Could you do it?
Reverse side.
As an old cop I have learned that if you hesitate at the ultimate moment you are dead.
Some people simply should not have a weapon because they will not use it or they will use it incorrectly.
You must decide in your mind before anything happens what you will do.
Steel yourself if you are serious.
Other wise just forget it. You will be a victim
