I have thought a lot about whether I would want a pistol in the house, or even on my person. I’ve always felt that if you’re not trained, or if you’re unsure of how you respond in crisis situations, of if you would be willing to use deadly force, then you should not have a gun for home protection.
I also know that for even violent crimes it can take police up to fifteen minutes to respond. That is long enough so that the only thing they might find on arrival is a crime scene. I only became sure when there were a series of home invasions near where I lived, and half a dozen people were murdered. I realized then that I would be wiling to use deadly force on a person who aggressively entered my home through break-in. I trained by taking instruction, by putting at least ten thousand rounds down the barrels of my small arsenal, and by taking a course in home defense tactics and laws. I hope I never have to respond to a home invasion, but if I do, I hope it goes like it did for this brave and well-prepared young man, who saved ten people from rape and murder.
