Agreed. If I ever have to defend myself or family and it resulted in the death of someone, it would be tough life altering experience. Yes, I killed someone hell bent on hurting me or my family but I killed someone just the same.
I was confronted once by someone who was threatening me with violence. My first reaction was I wish I had had a firearm and then after thinking about it a bit, I am glad that I didn’t have one because the end result would have been that that person would be dead. As it were, the situation defused itself and I never saw the person again.
And to this day — several years later — if I had killed that person, I would still be very remorseful and it would be something that I would ponder ever day... for the rest of my life.
I agree 100%.
If you speak with anyone who has ever had to use their weapon to kill someone, it’s life altering!
