Well , I would call it baiting. You clearly do not respect people who can get things done without expensive equipment designed for the purpose. I have no problem with folks who defend themselves with firearms, but I do have a problem with people who make snide comments about those who believe there are better ways. Making such comments, as you did, shows you up , not as someone who is furiously supportive of self defense, but as someone who just wants an excuse, any old excuse to blow a hole in someone and be legaly supported in that action.
There are big differences.

This , right here , is baiting those who believe there are better ways of doing things. You dont want to hear that question... that says all it needs to .
As I made very clear, I support a home owner using lethal force when required, however, if there are other options, for instance air tazers, baton rounds, hypodermic dart launchers, and the like, then it might be better to utilise those, because they are less likely to kill. Killing someone is something that no one, no matter how much of a hardass does not need in thier lives. How many nights sleep have been lost by a completely innocent homeowner over a person they have had to kill?
I mean who the hell do you think you are? Nixon? Duke Nukem? Who cares what you want to hear exactly ?

Originally posted by RedGodYou know, you can be 100% sure right up until two minutes after you pull the trigger. I was. Then I went to Afghanistan. Pulled the trigger there, and threw up thirty minutes later just thinking about it. I was fully justified, the guy was still shooting at us, and he was the enemy I was there to fight, and it was him or me and my friends, doesn't make taking that life any easier.
