I'm very curious, in a hd/sd situation how many of us truly believe we could pull the trigger.
Scenario 1: Middle of the night, you hear footsteps/glass break/door open etc. etc. (If you have a wife and kids they are all in the house, too.) You get out of bed and grab whichever gun you keep on the ready (for your sake I hope it's the 2022). You navigate the house and identify the threat, a man wielding a buck knife. He turns at you and starts toward you.
I'm pretty sure anybody with a brain would shoot.
Scenario 2: Everything is the same except for instead of advancing to you he moves in the direction of your loved ones, he is starting to give you his back, what do you do?
Throw me in prison, the p.o.s. is going down.
Scenario 3: He advances toward you but without a knife. Do you fire a waring shot near him to scare him off? Shoot him for being in your house? What do you do?
Myself, if I could guarantee he was unarmed I think I'd just whip his ass. But then you run the risk of the perp getting your gun and putting your lights out. Maybe a leg shot would serve him right.
I'm curious what our members would do. Think long and hard before answering and remember that you are making the choice of whether a human being lives or dies. Are they robbing you to buy drugs, or to feed their family? Are they on meth, or are they being forced to do this by a gang? Maybe they have a gambling debt and are just trying to pay their bookie?
We will probably never know the reason somebody is in our home. So take that in to consideration when you answer.
