I was responding to another about the concept of always answering the door (night or day) carrying a firearm, Actually, I can turn on lights and view anyone standing at my door in this kind of late-night scenario.

I also have yelled through the door, at another place I lived, as to the nature of a late-night visitor's knock on the door. I did that before opening the door.

To answer specifically: yes, I have found Utopia.

I do not want to be responsible for the death of someone's son. I lost a son via accident and a parent can never outlive the nightmare of it. I know I am unique but I would prefer to be shot dead by a minor child rather than to render the pain of his death upon a parent.

I do strongly support the right of self-defense and am well-equipped to defend myself, VERY RELUCTANTLY, if forced to- in a responsible and reasonable way.

Ping to my # 199......deadly force is indeed a last resort. Always should be but doesn't preclude the need to have the means and ability to use it 24/7.
