my guns are for home defense, and they ARE for killing people. in my state, if someone is threatening your life, you are legally able to defend. but if you wound them, they can sue you for everything. i was trained to shoot to kill, not maim. i think police and military are taught something very similar...
bottom line, i don't want to hurt anyone, but if you invade my property with intent to harm/kill me or my family, i will shoot, and i only shoot to kill. anything less would be not doing my best to protect my family, and could cause a life time of legal shit that could STILL harm my family!
remember the guy who fell through a skylight during a theft/home invasion, and sued the family after he was busted? HE WON!!!
FUCK THAT!!
