But whenever I read or see stuff like those things mentioned here in this thread I can't help but wonder WTF is wrong with those people. |
Cool deal.
...and I know what you mean.

And not everybody runs from an immediate problem. Lots of people have and know how to use hand guns for home or personal protection. I for one wouldn't hesitate to shoot an intruder in my home for example; and there's a lot of people who feel the same. Not everybody runs and hides.
As far as this kid Mace Hutchinson, we'll just have to wait and hear his side. |
part 1: You are absolutely right. I neglected to include them and I'm probably forgetting others. Point well taken and I understand.
part 2: I wish more people more people felt that way. It would begin to curb more crime. I know not everyone runs away, but there's the fight, flight, or frozen fright. There's a lot less fight back (protection of ones home, etc). I'm sure you've heard of the castle doctrine in TX which I believe in wholeheartedly. And,...I'm glad to hear home burglars are now realizing that death is a possibility of the job when breaking into homes.
