ts ringing bells in your head because i don't want blood on my hands its not right to kill someone even if the law says so. i rather rack my slide and have the guy run then to shoot him but you would shoot him and tell your friends you did a good thing. and i think i'm the safer one here who doesn't keep one in the chamber. anyone who sees a gun is going to run unless they have a gun so there it is. i think you need it put the steel down and pick up a plastic x26 because by the sounds of it your going to kill someone
It's perfectly right to kill somebody if they're wrongfully endangering your life and limb or that of another innocent party.
If you make me shoot you it's because you're doing something so unacceptable that it's better for you to be seriously injured or die rather than for you to continue. If I shoot someone it would be to stop them. Unfortunately for them, all of the best ways to "stop" someone frequently do so by KILLING them. That's life in the big city. Don't want to get shot? Don't put people in reasonable fear of immediate threat to life and limb. Don't want to die? Don't make people shoot you. That's not very tough to understand. And yet, every day, stupid people fail to understand it. Well, I can't control that. What I CAN control is their overt behaviors which threaten my immediate well being. If that control has to take the form of a bullet in the head, I'm perfectly willing to go down that path, and with no regrets.
That having been said, since I feel no guilt in defending myself, I feel no guilt in doing so in an expeditious, efficient way. If you're stupid enough to make me shoot you, I'm not going to risk my life to see if you're JUST smart enough to see a gun and make an appropriate decision about your next course of action based thereon. Of course I often carry a revolver. How exactly do I carry a revolver without "one in the chamber"?
It's pretty obvious to me that you don't know that much about firearms, self-defense, and the law and that you're making poorly thought out decisions based on that ignorance.
Of course it's your right to needlessly endanger yourself based on faulty assumptions and reasoning. It's also my right to not risk my own life to protect an assailant by doing the same.
All I have to do is pick it up, aim it, pull the trigger. I can also check the status of the gun in the dark very easily, run my hand along the top of the slide, if the extractor is raised, then a round is chambered.
) I woke up, grabbed that pistol almost instantly, and racked the slide. Total time was almost certainly less than 2 seconds. My girlfriend was very impressed. In my experience, when that adrenaline hits you, you'll hop right out of bed feeling more awake than you would if you took a dozen caffiene pills.
