Do you believe it's ok to defend your life if physically attacked?

And I am prepared to do so.

You think you are. I don't care if you have 3 guns on you. If someone that knows what they are doing wants to (probably not a 160 pound kid) they can have you on the ground in severe pain in 2 seconds flat without you having any idea what happened.

You wouldn't even have time to think and you'd already be disarmed with your own gun pointed at you.

Also, what do you do if someone prepared to rob you points a loaded gun in your face? I'd imagine you don't carry your gun(s) in your hand(s) and off safety at all times, but maybe you do?

No. I think we should all kill ourselves so we won't be faced with this situation.

I think that it's ok to defend yourself as long as you don't do anything to hurt or violate the rights of the attacker. Murderers are people too.

Your hypothetical ...... is only one possibility out of a thousand.

There are countless others where a gun would be of great defensive use.

DO you not lock your garage door because someone simply back a pick-up into it to gain access?

Would you not wear a motorcycle helmet because it won't save you in all accidents?

Being armed gives you options.

It also creates a general awareness in criminals that they can't count on others being at their mercy.

NOT ANYMORE!

New Michigan law lifts motorcycle helmets

LANSING -- Motorcycle helmets are no longer mandatory for all riders and passengers in Michigan, though there was confusion Friday about who could legally ride without one and how a more permissive law would be enforced.

Many hailed the change in state law -- which advocates had sought for decades -- as a victory for freedom and personal responsibility.

"I'll still wear my helmet most of the time, but if I'm just going to go up to the 7-Eleven, I'll be able to just put on my sunglasses and go," said Kurt Wilhelm of Canton. "There's nothing better on a nice summer day."

Brains beat guns as a first line of defense close to every time!

Are you saying the vast majority of violent crime victims are simply stupid? Any evidence of this?
