Would you be able to do it?

Question

For those of us who have guns, if someone broke into your house would you be able to kill them? My dad just bought me a glock after I got my permit to concealed carry. He was telling me not to be afraid to protect myself but I was just thinking I would have it to scare people. I don't ever intend on shooting it. If someone tries to rape me or break into my house, I'll just aim it at them and try to look intimidating. Hopefully they don't call me on my bluff. If you have a gun, would you be able to live with yourself if you killed someone in self defense? Would you do it?

Answer

1st off if you're going to have a gun you really NEED to take a concealed weapons class if they offer it where you are. My husband has his CWP in sc and he had to take the class and it was so helpful for him. I don't have my permit because I'm not 100% comfortable with carrying and I don't think you should carry if you're not comfortable. One of the major things he was taught in the class is if you point a gun at someone you better be prepared to pull the trigger and if they point one at you then you can expect them to pull the trigger... you have to be prepared to protect yourself. That being said, my husband did teach me how to shoot for when I'm at home alone. I do believe that if someone came in my house and my kids were in danger I would and could shoot them. Taking a life isn't something to take lightly but I'd protect my kids at any cost.

Answer

Absolutely I would. No question about it. One of us is going out in a bag and it's not gonna be me.

Answer

When you are under stress you ability to aim and hit a small target such as an arm or leg is very unlikely. You just need to aim for the chest area. It's either you pull the trigger or they take the gun from you and kill you and do who knows what to you and your children. So I will shoot to kill. Someone in your house has no business being there and aren't there for any good and safe reason for you.

Answer

If anyone had the balls to break into my house I take that as a threat on mine and my families life.  Most people out here in extremely rural parts of Georgia aren't that brave.... We shoot first and ask questions later

Answer

I was taught if you pull a gun you must be ready to use it for all you know they'll pull one too!

Answer

You need classes + your license (already forgot if you did or didn't, sorry) and most importantly confidence... If you're not confident in using it, or holding it and "hoping I look intimidating" you're gonna hurt yourself.

Answer

I don't have a gun because they intimidate me. Lol but if I did, and someone came into my home to hurt me, my baby, my DH, or my dogs I would not hesitate to shoot them in the face.

Answer

do not shoot the leg aim for the chest cuz if they pull a gun after you shoot them in the leg you bet your dead

Answer

In my personal opinion as a person who carries you don't pull your weapon unless you are prepared to use it. And in a situation where you feel threatened enough to draw your weapon your not going to think twice about pulling the trigger.  And just fyi in some states if you pull the weapon you better shoot it because drawing on someone when it isn't absolutely needed can get you in more trouble then if you actually fired in self defence. Also look in ccw safe I recommend it to all my friends who carry because it will protect you legally  if you are ever forced to use your weapon.

Answer

Hell yes I would. I shoot and ask questions later.
