Anyway, some of you have firearms for protection.. What do you think
is safer:
Retreat, call 911 and warn the perp that he could get shot?
or
Run downstaris totally out of cover and hope to reach the first floor
before some asshole blows your balls off or you end up in a gunfight
with some little kid...??

I would love for someone who has had training to make the call
here...

I knew a guy who was an advanced level martial arts blackbelt. He
taught
several of the popular self defense techniques or styles.

His first line of defense and advice to be used against any aggressive
intruder with a gun was, "Run like hell".

Personally, I don't like guns, even though I own a shotgun. If I were
forced to use it, I would, but not before several warnings to an
intruder to
get the hell out and only if I felt that my wife or I were in
immediate
physical danger.

If the intruder is unarmed, I'd use a bit of old Navy training learned
while
standing Shore Patrol duty. (sorry Harry). I keep one of those short
aluminum bats (used by fishermen to knock a big fish senseless) handy
in
the house. A solid whack with it applied to the shins of just about
anybody will usually cause them to crumple to the floor in pain.
Unless
they are drunk. Causes no permanent damage, but grown men have been
known
to sit on the ground, bawling their eyes out after a good thunk!

You are absolutely correct. I teach people all of the time that the
best defense is to AVOID a confrontation.

Say what? Aren't you the guy who was willing to travel all over the US
to have a dust-up with anyone who irritated you?

Don,
So what is your feeling about mandatory abortions for parents whose
child
is less than perfect? My guess is you would have had to abort your kids.

Go **** yourself asshole!
Looks like you would have been a good candidate for abortion.- Hide quoted
