"I hate that boy dead, but I don't hate I shot him" [View all]

[tortoise1956]

The true feelings of a 79 year-old man who shot and killed a criminal during a burglary. This is one of the main reasons to have a strong second amendment. There was no chance the police would have been there in time to protect him.

I feel for this gentleman, but I understand completely. I am coming up on 61, and I simply can't depend upon my physical skills for protection any more. One of the reasons I have a CCW. I almost never carry, but on those rare occasions, it provides peace of mind.

BTW, I find that when I do carry, I tend to drive more circumspectly, and I don't try to draw attention to myself while out in public. I guess that comes with not wanting to be in the position where I have to use it.
