HaHa...well the jokes on you then. You don't even recognize what you are reading when you read it. That's just too damn funny!

I knew a few people that would still be here if they would have had a gun with them at the time they were robbed and then murdered.

You do not need to be armed because of your bad choices but because your assailant made his own bad choices. Not being armed, skilled and willing to defend yourself is your bad choice.

Though until you are in that situation I suppose you don't know for sure if you will be able to pull the trigger.
You are right, up to a point. If you have pulled your gun, then you should be prepared to fire.

BTW, I WOULD pull the trigger.

And that I can agree with!. My insurance company has gotten rich off of me, but, One of these days, I may need them.

Just like the weapon I carry, (Not always a gun).

You are right, there are a lot of keyboard commandos. There are people whom I believe also, based on the TYPE and CONTENT of their post. Certain things are difficult to pretend. Many of the real people, can quickly ascertain whether we are dealing with a keyboard commando or the real thing. People who live and work with weapons, and those are trained have a different mindset, then those who don't.
