Half a dozen protestors are carrying torches up your drive way....are banging on the garage door and front door for you to open up or they are gonna burn your house down.
That is what is being discussed. Not shooting wildly at nothing for no reason...by incompetent aging residents.
When we, competent, trained, licensed gun owners, are discussing taking up arms it is for life threatening situations....not some derogatory anecdotal fluff.

Well you made my point! What IF a bunch of protesters were banging on my garage door & threading to burn my house down & some lawful unstable gun owner really thinks he can shoot anybody just because he thinks his life is threatened & kills them all & you or me just happen to be standing on the sidewalk & get killed. Your right about this situation but I‘be been in a situation where I did catch someone in my house & my warning was pointing my laser light gun site on them, they saw the red dot & they never asked questions & they were gone & yes it would of been tough to pull the trigger even though I thought it would be easy, glad I didn’t. Yes you’re right only shoot in threatening situations. Now if you were me would you of shot first & then look to see if it was your wife or another family, it’s a big decision? live in Texas & we have gun laws that are a little different here. To put it short, here you better not break into anybody’s house, auto or believe it or threaten anybody at work & PROTECTING YOUR PROPERTY. Thieves beware when you come to Texas to break into a house to rob someone, I don’t disagree with you but different state have different gun laws. Listen to Orlando news at 11 that’s all you’ll here is all the killings, then Google Dallas/Ft. Worth News, you might here about 1 or 2 shootings! Good comment though, Billethkid!
