I don't own one. Never have even fired a gun. I think about it sometimes but I figure I'd just get myself in trouble with one.

You realize that, had the guy been serious, he could have put that chainsaw through the window and dismembered your child in less than 1 second, no? I don't think anyone should be subjected to the whims of a chainsaw wielding nutjob and rely on the *HOPE* of him backing down.
I would much rather deal with the anguish of a shooting, than deal with a dismembered or dead child and wonder later if I should have done something... IMO the shooting is not only justifiable, it's also rationale and logical. I'll take my chances with a jury.

Rick - Full agreement. I carry for the same reasons. I do not do vigilante work.
My response was aimed at the "genetics lesson" from the distinguished gentleman from New Jersey.
Yes there is stress in everyday living, and the resulting conflict between "thinking I want to do something" and resorting to my "live and let live" philosophy tends to raise my BP a few notches.
But, no action is taken until my life is in danger.

Guys its simple. If you want to carry and are qualified then have at it. If you don't want to carry and feel unsure about your ability then leave the guns to others. For those of you that don't carry and don't want me to carry either , if the situation arises I will try my best to not save your sorry self. If I screw up and save your life then I am sorry in advance.
