    What would you do in this situation RE self-defense?


    A total stranger breaks into your home and points a 45 at you. You have a gun concealed in your clothing.

    In fear for your life, you


    1. Shoot the intruder
    2. Try to talk him out of shooting you
    3. Shoot first, negotiate later


    Well…

    Now the Israel/Hamas war—and whose side the world should be on—should be a no-brainer

    How do you pull out your gun without getting shot? He already has the draw on you. It seems like you should at least ask him to not shoot you to buy time.

    well, u can do that

    I will opt for taking my chances... Besides, you could do both. You could say something about... My husband is expected any time... or whatever... or Hey, i have to scratch my leg... which would explain your hand being near your right side... and then go for the gun...

    I'm being half facetious...

    No wonder Jesus said not many make it to Heaven... Turns out it's merely a fantasy world.

    Well, I wouldn't after shooting the perp, go over to his house after finding his address in the dead man's wallet and then kill his family, the family's dog, the next door nieghbor's dogs......
    Explain how the Iron Dome of protection justifies the following:

    On July 30, Israeli military forces shelled the Jabalia Elementary Girls School, which was being used by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) to house “thousands of internally displaced people.” Children, according to UNRWA, were “killed in their sleep.” The shelling killed at least 19 people and injured dozens.


    If that is not a war crime - then your definition of crimes against humanity is meaningless.

    If it was already pointing a gun at me, I'd tell it that there's cash in my wallet; pull out my pistol instead of my wallet; and shoot it dead.

    However, if it was a protected minority, I'd tell it that I was a Democrat; offer it all my property, including my wife; drive it to my ATM; and take consolation in the fact that I made a contribution and sacrifice for diversity.

    I'd try to decide if he was really going to shoot and then decide if he had any bullets in that thing. Whatever I did, I would really want it to 'Make his day'
