Anti, i can respect your feelings but before you blast me, think 1st. You really don't know me or my life experiences. You have no idea if i have a military background or a law enforcement background. As i'm sure you are aware, i was awoken at 2:30am this past fall by 3 kids vandalizing my car. Did i shoot them? No, just detained them for the responding cops.

And since you don't know me, let me say i'd never try to be a "hero" and/or risk others. Having a gun or knife evens the teams for me. If i'm reduced to no other choice, i'm either cutting or shooting my way out, it's that simple. If some guys wanna rob a place i'm in and it's just that, a robbery, then i'll be a good witness. I'm not going to confront them. And, as a matter of fact, i have a "throw wallet" for just that. (if you don't know what a throw wallet is, just ask a cop, he'll tell you) They'll get my throw wallet with some money in it but thats it. If they get a lil' buck nutty and start to shoot up the place, then i'm forced to do whatever it takes to get out alive.

Say what you will but never judge someone you don't know.....and you don't know me.
