We have police for a reason, we dont need to go shoot people, cant the cops take care of it?

My friend, before you are banned I would like to answer as many of your points as possible. Someone holding a knife in your face demanding your wallet is not going to sit around waiting for the cops to show up so he can turn himself in.

I own a gun and a permit to carry it with me in public. If a man tries to rob me I will shoot him. Why? Because the cops can't be everywhere and I refuse to be one of those innocent folks who have to lock themselves in their own houses because the criminals walk the streets without fear. In short, I worked for the money in my wallet and I'll be damned before some crack whore tries to take it from me.

If i were in the same situation i would probably do the same thing but to hear noises in your garage and go out there with a gun and shoot someone without asking one question what so ever or even turning on a light is wrong. Tony was such a young kid and he was really small... why couldnt the guy just put a chair up against the door and called 911?? Tony wasnt in the right mind to go anywhere. Tony was bending down when he was shot, and its not like the fire was out of controll and the room was filled with smoke. He did not get up or approch the guy at all.

This world cant be perfect like you want it to be. Some people are sick... and it leads them to do stupid stuff. All they need is a little help not to get shot. If you feel so threatened by people maybe you should stay inside. Im sorry but to carry a gun around, to me, is a little much.
