You should be since you though you stung me with that stupid premiums comment.

Fair point.

Look, I'll stop jacking with you. Here is my point.

If you shoot and you are one hundred percent in the right, then you are ok. If the bad man with the criminal record is attacking your wife with a knife, then you are probably ok.

Real life is NEVER like that. You could misjudge and shoot someone who is not breaking in, like your son's college buddy who is stumbling in after a bender. That has happened. You could miss and shoot through the wall and hurt your own family. Or, well hell, like Piers, you could let your wife rattle you into shooting somebody and end up with more than a half million dollar debt hanging over your head. That is one hell of a judgment to make when you are half awake and startled. But if you think you can make it, more power to you.

Good luck in life. Really.
