***The more you know....

This is what is off topic - you're statment -----
"It does not include outright attacking people that one feels threatened by because one believes they want to destroy Christians worldwide."

I've read over 2,000 threads responses and not once did anyone say or imply this. You're defending a point that was never implied and/or questioned.

This topic is about SELF DEFENCE- Not attacking - BIG DIFFERENCE!

BTW, although he is no longer my son in law, he has somewhat straightened up and told me he respects me now..He probably is really afraid of me(jk)

seconded. and by the way, good job. courageous. aaron out.

Which is why she said "IT DOES NOT INCLUDE" in her statement.
