Can you purchase a pistol? If so, can you keep this pistol in the place where you and your family live. If someone breaks into your residence with your family home, threatens to kill them and or you unless you give them your ATM card and PIN and you shoot them with the pistol, can you be reasonably sure that your actions will be adjudicated to be in defense of your life?
I would caution your reply. I have made no accusation nor expressed any opinion. Each sentence ended with a question mark, not an exclamation.
