61. Every circumstance is different... No I am not saying that I would shoot anyone.

You are trying lump everything into a specific circumstance.

If someone was driving off with my car, I would not shoot them as I am not being threatened.

If someone was holding a pipe like a baseball bat and threatening to hit me with it while demanding my car keys, I would draw my gun.

Give him the keys, seriously? And what's to make you think he won't whack you anyway? rl6214 Mar 2012 #70
