Honestly I don't know that i'd ever be able to shoot anyone. If I did it would probably be in defense of someone else, like my kids or nieces and nephews or something.

Do yourself a favor. Don't ever carry that gun. If you don't KNOW you can drop a body in an instant, a lot of criminals will KNOW this. Hesitation is caused by empathy and morals. That empathy is definitely noted by violent criminals. It takes one moment of caring that the other person is a human being. That's it.

I am empathetic to a fault actually. In person, anyway. I empathize with everyone.

Me too but empathy stops when i see bad news bears. Only pulled it once but the response was pretty good, the guy ran backwards into an SUV. No more bad news bears ;) I was protecting myself, thank you pistola :):):)

Than, trust me (this is some of that rare advice that I give out, that doesn't wind up causing all kinds of trouble when people listen.)

If you can empathize with everyone, that empathy WILL be exploited by a violent criminal, if the situation ever arises. I think it's a horrible idea to give a violent felon a gun, mid-crime. So, if you can't shoot them, immediately, you shouldn't even pretend that you could, after "humanity" has been established. In real life, I'm tall, insanely intelligent, dashingly handsome (I like that word, dashingly) and control most situations through exploitation of other people's empathy. I'm not the only one out there; and I don't play for the bad guys. There are a lot of serious monsters out there, that will make you think the situation is your fault, before you clear the barrel from your clutch.

That's not a fault and can be cultivated with mindful meditation.

No seriously. Every friggin person I ever meet. If they talk to me at all, i'm right there with them. Instantly. And there's nothing I can do to NOT empathize with them. Even if I absolutely HATE their point of view. Suddenly i'll be like "Oh my God. I get it. I hate you for it. But I get it." And a kid? Oh don't even get me started with kids.

My post was serious and direct. I'm an advocate for everyone to meditate. Its like looking at the starry nights sky, or as Kerouac put it "a shot of that good glad fluid."
