Wouldn’t want to. Would.

[Don Corleone]

There is a loaded shotgun under the bed. Damn right!

I’m a mama bear. I’ll protect my cubs. Might be clumsy and scared, but I’ll do it.

Here is a hot link to the Castle Doctrine Laws specific to your state.

I have a steak knife and I know how to use it.

[mountainlion]

Bear or crook my life comes first.

[GonzoGOP]

Yep. The only question is would you bury them, hang them on the fence as a warning to the next looter, or feed them to the pigs.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Same here.

As a woman living out in the middle of nowhere, widowed with kids at home and running a small country store in the middle of nowhere I have seriously thought about the scenarios that could occur and have concluded that I sure would hate to, but would if I had to. (but I know I’d be seriously freaked out for days afterwards..especially if it was a local.) And yes, I do have firearms in the home and behind the register.

I wouldn’t want to, and would likely feel guilty for the rest of my life, but I sincerely hope that I have the presence of mind to shoot any SOB who intends harm to me or mine...and I presume that anyone who enters my home at 0’Dark:30 without my permission has exactly that mission on his mind.

The good thing is that I live in Texas. After dark, shooting people on your property is highly protected, to say nothing of inside your home. Here I think that the police would actually be disappointed if the perp was still kicking when they arrived.

The pigs in my neighborhood are bears and mountain lions.

[workerbee]

I believe most people don't think they could, but most people certainly would. We're talking pure survival instinct. Someone coming at myself or my children? You betcha.

[TexMom7]

The answer for me is YES.

And I do not have to worry about prosecution because I live in Texas and have the state right to defend myself, my family and my property.

[texas_mrs]

I would shoot someone if the situation arose, because I would want my family protected. I wouldn’t use a knife; the perp might take it from me and use it on ME, leaving my family worse off than before. Whatever action I took, it would need to be absolute.

Glenn Beck said on his radio program this morning that we are headed to a civil war.
Apparently, the first time he's said that publically.

[stormhill]

I've thought long and hard about this and take strong moral and religious exception to harming another human being.

In that context, I decided that there are people in this world who need killing.

And I do not have to worry about prosecution because I live in Texas and have the God-given, state-recognized right to defend myself, my family and my property.Fixed it. ;)

[MestaMachine]

Yes.
