So you would shoot and injure or kill someone for that? In a fracking hart beat. If someone points a firearm at me and I am armed at the time count on me using mine. You seem to not know that all firearms are loaded and you do not point it at anything or anyone you do not intend to shoot.

Bloodthirsty lot ain't ya? I used to sell firearms of many kinds and know well there is no such thing as an unloaded weapon. However, at the same time, if some sh*thead has the drop on you and his weapon goes click click a couple of times, would you really feel good if you finally dragged your weapon out of wherever you were carrying it and shot the f***head to death? I guess many of you would.
Sic transit gloria mundi.

If the gun is still pointed at me I'm not going to take the chance that the next click isn't a bang. I don't want my wife to be a widow sooner than she needs to be.

Wisconsin Capitol To Allow Guns But Photography Still Banned Pixiq|carlosmiller@magiccitymedia.com As more citizens were arrested for silently video recording assembly proceedings inside the Wisconsin State Capitol this week, legislators were drafting new rules that would allow guns inside that same chamber. Republican Representative Robin Vos failed to see the contradiction in these policies. After all, he told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, citizens are still allowed to walk into the capitol with cameras. They are just not allowed to use them to record public officials. The same goes for guns. Just because they will be allowed to sit in an assembly session with loaded AR-15s under their coat doesn’t give them the right to open fire on public officials. No matter how stupid they get. <snip> www.pixiq.com/article/guns-will-be-allowed-inside-wisconsin

Bloodthirsty lot ain't ya? Not blood thirsty, but willing to do what needs to be keep me and mine safe. if some sh*thead has the drop on you and his weapon goes click click a couple of times, would you really feel good if you finally dragged your weapon out of wherever you were carrying it and shot the f***head to death? I guess many of you would. Actually, I wouldn't drag my sidearm out... I would move as I draw and shoot him until he/she/it was no longer a viable threat to me or my family. I actively train & take classes from professionals, so that I will have a better than average chance to survive a deadly encounter. With that said, I wouldn't wait for the bad guy's gun to go click, as soon as I saw that he was a threat, I move to stop that threat. bad guy pointing gun at me justifies the use of deadly force. as for feeling good? My family will survive, even If I do not. It is a personal decision that I have already made. My family, friends and loved ones will not be put in harms way. before asking if I would feel good, perhaps you should read two books, "On Killing", and "On Combat" by Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, he discusses the realities of the psychological & physiological effect of killing in combat. He references mostly military & police with some civilian accounts of person's who have had to kill another person in order to save a life, & what effect it had on them.

I love how you assume I'd wait till I heard the click.
Had I a firearm on me when the incident occurred, there would not have been a waiting period to see if he was serious. That wait is what gets people killed.
As it stands, when he did NOT shoot live ammunition at me I still saw him and his buddies as potential threats to my life under the assumption that his gun was misfiring. I did not remove my eyes from him, nor did I run as I figured that would trigger their prey instinct (and yes, humans do have that too, not just dogs). I started instead calculating how many of them there were, what my chances were of dealing with them hand to hand, what weak points I could detect, as in did one limp, did one favor a shoulder, and essentially started figuring out how best to stop the obvious threat to my life.
Apparently, YOU would consider pointing a real gun and dry firing it as a joke, perhaps? Nothing serious though, you don't see it as a threat to point a gun at you until there's a bullet flying in your direction. I guess if someone brandished a knife and put it to your throat it wouldn't be a threat till he cut? At what point is it a real threat worthy of response? After you're dead?

So good of you to chime in with that poignant and thought provoking question. I'm impressed. Truly. I had no idea it was possible to make a post that was beneath the level usually exhibited by former member wildman.
