If you're a civvie pulling a handgun, you better be intent on using it,
not defusing with it.


"Prepared to go all the way" is correct. Knowing how to NOT go all the
way
is preferred. Call your attorney and ask this question:


"God forbid I have to ever use my gun on an intruder in my home, do you
have
the name of an attorney I'd need to call afterward?"


I asked mine this question. She gave me the names of three very
experienced
criminal attorneys. Even if you are correct in using the gun, even if it
was
caught on videotape and the perp had a criminal record as long as your
arm,
you'll still be briefly treated like a criminal. Better to avoid it.


Well stated! Do you have a law enforcement background?


No. You may have heard that there are 118 people in this country who still
know where to find the library. I'm one of them. I read.
