I won't even go into your constant and pathetic generalizations, stereotyping and bashing of an entire profession, one of which I am a proud member. There was no point in this country, ever, where people were afraid to defend themselves as they saw fit for fear of getting sued. Utter bullshit. If you choose to purchase a gun for protection and train yourself in it's proper usage, at NO time is a person ever going to be faced with a life threatening situation and go..."Well golly gee, I've got this gun here and this guy is coming at me with a knife. Hmm, maybe I should just go ahead and let this guy stab me because I just might get sued."
I just like the thin skin.
There WAS a time in the late 70s to early 90s where many homeowners were charged for shooting an assailant on THEIR property. It was to the point where the old joke was that if you shoot them coming through the window, pull them in so you won't get sued. If you shot through the door when someone was trying to break it down, you got arrested. Not sure how old you are, but growing up this was a common occurrence. I guess all of these castle laws that have been passed in the last few years were just from a random common sense thoughts. No. They were because of all of the lawsuits that folks had to endure when they tried to protect their family on their property and it was alleged by lawyers in court that force was not needed.
I subscribe to the southern way of self protection:
Are you a Democrat, a Republican, or a Southerner?
Here is a little test that will help you decide.
The answer can be found by posing the following question:
You're walking down a
deserted street with your wife
and two small children.
Suddenly, an Islamic
Terrorist with a huge knife
comes around the corner,
locks eyes with you,
screams obscenities, praises
Allah, raises the knife, and charges at you...
You are carrying a
Kimber 1911 cal. 45 ACP, and you are an expert shot.
You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family.
What do you do?
THINK CAREFULLY AND
THEN SCROLL DOWN:
Democrat's Answer:
· Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!
· Does the man look poor or oppressed?
· Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack?
· Could we run away?
· What does my wife think?
· What about the kids?
· Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand?
· What does the law say about this situation?
· Does the pistol have appropriate safety built into it?
· Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children?
· Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me?
· Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me?
· If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me?
· Should I call 9-1-1?
· Why is this street so deserted?
· We need to raise taxes, have paint & weed day.
· Can we make this a happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior.
· I need to debate this with some friends for a few days and try to come to a consensus.
· This is all so confusing!
