I rather spend my (short) time assessing a risk by determining a reasonable reason to shoot, rather than trying to think up a reasonable reason not to shoot. Juries have the luxury of time looking for reasonable doubt that a person in possible mortal fanger doesn't have.

You know, I’m sure you would. So would I.

But we live in a society full of people stupid enough to vote for Clinton/Gore who might not be as wise as you and I when looking for that reason. We abdicate the responsibility of retaliatory use of force to police, and I think that it’s in all our best interest that we expect the person who goes beyond that, to end a life in order to protect his interests, to have to spend a precious second our two to “think up a reasonable reason not to shoot” before pulling the trigger.

Thank you for your idealism definition in your profile. Best laugh of my day.
