I find the article shortsighted. I have muscular dystrophy. I can stand for less that 10 minutes, walk maybe 100 yards, and would lose arm wrestling a grass hopper. If threatened my only hope is shooting fast and often. Keeping in mind that in a fight, you can do everything right and still die.

The Police are the most dangerous killers out there. When they shoot they empty there gun and usually miss half of there shots. Then cover up the innocents they killed and blame it on the so called criminal they shot. I refuse to drive through or visit any state that has laws that violate the second ammendment as all gun control laws do. The Supreme court has ruled that any unconstitutional law is null and void and can not be enforced but with our legal system the average person does not have the money to hire an Attorney who may have had a hand in writing the unconstitutional laws. A public defender is most often useless as they have more cases then they can handle in the first place.

Really??? I disagree with you on some of your points listed. First: I do not have to look for ways to run if I live in a state with stand your ground laws. If I can avoid the situation I will, however I do not have to for it to be justified. Second: do you really think the average person with a ccw can process that many questions in the most stressful situation in their entire lives??? I think not. the pictures posted…the first one, I get the heck out of dodge. second, I have my gun pulled and then yell what you stated to the person. third picture..i’m pulling the trigger. I do agree with smithkowitz, know the laws of your state, and pray to God you never have to make the life or death decision.

There is not a National Law governing the use of Deadly Force. You Must read the laws of your state if you want to be on legal ground in it’s use. If traveling and carrying, Read the laws of the state you go to, and read the non-resident laws regarding carrying. It would be nice if there were National laws and in a sense there is (the 2nd), but we know how violated our rights are across the nation. From a simple moral standpoint; shooting or inflicting injury to kill should only be used as a last resort. That is not however what is taught to many in law enforcement across the nation (have friends in LE, trained shoot to kill). Any situation, needs to be evaluated, quickly, safely and responsibly. Here’s hoping none of us will ever be in a situation where we Need to use Deadly Force.
