[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 739973, member: 60724"] MikeC said several things above: So let me get this straight. If the illegal in question didn't actually attack you and in the course of discussing things you shot him in the foot and then got sued and charged with all sorts of crimes that would be a BAD THING? Ah, that is the definition of "defend" isn't it? Shouldn't a gun be a defensive weapon, not an offensive weapon? Our should we simply shoot people in the foot to calm them down to prevent them from what they might do (which seems to be what is implied here). Again, are you implying that illegals shouldn't enjoy the same rights as you or I; and in particular I mean the right NOT to get pre-emptively shot during a verbal altercation and then the right to have some recourse should that happen? I don't necessarily have a problem with someone packing heat, legally, and making it known that they are in an altercation. It's a sad sign of the times, but as I said, I don't necessarily have a problem. I do have concerns about this "I wish I had a gun", "honey go get my gun" view on conflict resolution. But then, I have heard the old saying: "Don't bring a knife to a gun fight!" TJR [/QUOTE]
