I have never felt threatened for my life therefore I have never even thought about pulling a gun. I have never thought of using my Home Owner's Insurance either because nothing has happened...…..YET. I have never even though of calling my insurance agent, but I do know his phone number.
In general since most people have the gun to shoot an intruder, but havent actually had to shoot someone, I doubt anyone would feel good shooting someone and watching them die.
In all the usual cases Ive seen, anyone that had to shoot someone didnt intend to kill, and when it happened anyway, they regretted it.
That said, I am declaring, because I have a soul, that anyone that shoots someone, and kills them intentionally, then rejoices that kill, is a soul-less lunatic.
As much as adults are responsible for their own decisions, it would suck to have to take a life that was misguided much of their life and deemed by society to be incorrigible.
"That said, I am declaring, because I have a soul, that anyone that shoots someone, and kills them intentionally, then rejoices that kill, is a soul-less lunatic."
What a bunch of crap.
IF I had to kill someone to protect my or ANY MEMBER OF MY FAMILY OR FRIENDS I WOULD REJOICE IN KNOWING I SAVED THEIR LIVES!
You "think", something I think you are NOT doing, you would feel better if one of yours was killed and the shooter lived?
I think I know where you stand, "they would not shoot to kill, but just to stop the attacker." " "Hell no! If that Bat Rastard chose to threaten, the next case he'll be pleading will be with his Maker!",( It is noted you did NOT state YOUR position, so how can we have an honest adult discussion if you DON'T?)
Quite a BIG difference in your "tone"!
I don't agree that honest adult discussion cannot ensue if the OP does not declare a position. I submit the posts to-date as evidence.

Only a LUNATIC would think otherwise!
I do carry a gun and train with it very frequently. Its weight on my hip reminds me to remain vigilant and aware. I continuously assess the tactical situation around me, even in my yard, even at home.
"Rejoice" certainly is not what I would do if I had to kill a man in defense of my loved ones.
"As I live," says the Lord God, "I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked." -- Ezekiel 33:11
I would not rejoice in my loved ones having been in a life-threatening situation. They certainly would not remember such a thing with pleasure, nor would I. The entire incident would have been a tragedy, in which I'd only succeeded in limiting the tragedy, not making a comedy of it.
Im 44 yrs old...in all my years, I cannot think of a single time when I felt threatened to the point of fearing my life was in danger!
Even during my years of drug addiction, going to very shady parts of town at 2am sometimes, never was my life threatened.
Buying or carrying a gun would be a waste of money for me.
Lucky for you, do you need some of the numerous examples where someone could have used one to protect their life, or did use to protect their life?
I never needed a fire truck, ambulance, nor fire extinguisher, yet I support taxes going towards the fire truck and ambulance, I have an extinguisher in the house and car, even have and maintain smoke detectors even though never had one go off due to smoke.

You are a slave of your own fears.
I have a carry license, but I choose to not carry because it's a pain in the rear.

Do you wear seatbelt? Do you have property insurance? What about life insurance? How many times in your life have u used them?
Also, my daily carry is a snubnose s&m .38 revolver. It's slightly bigger than my Samsung Note 8.
