I don’t think I could shoot someone, and since I don’t having a gun wouldn’t be a good thing.
Maybe I’ll regret that some day. I have been in a confrontation before, but the man didn’t have a gun, and there were two of us against him, and we were just biding our time hoping the police would get there.
I understand and respect that. Just hate to see someone in a situation where they second guess themselves thinking, 'damn I wish I had a gun...'
I offer this reasoning though, at least arm up for the 'mercy' shot on the crippled deer [being mindful of the asphalt etc] or the loose dog that comes by and threatens you or your neighbors. at least then you would have the options if needed... thanks again for the pro choice article...
