Would you shoot to protect your family?

Situation-Question:

You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two
small children. Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge
knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams
obscenities, raises the knife, and charges. You are carrying a
Glock .40 and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds
before he reaches you and your family. What do you do?

Liberal Answer:

"Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!"

"Does the man look poor or oppressed? Have I ever done
anything to him that would inspire him to attack?"

"Could we run away? What does my wife think?"

"Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the
knife out of his hand?"

"What does the law say about this situation?"

"Does the Glock have an appropriate safety built into it?"

"Why am I carrying a loaded gun and what kind of message does
this send to society and my child!"

"Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me?"

"Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he just be
content to wound me?"

"If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get
away while he was stabbing me?"

"This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some
friends for a few days to try to come to a conclusion."

Conservative Answer:
BANG!

Texan's Answer:
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! click...
(sounds of reloading).

Wife: "Sweetheart, he looks like he's still moving, what do
you kids think?"

Son: "Mom's right Dad, I saw it too..."

BANG! BANG! BANG! ! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! click.
Daughter: "Nice group, Daddy! Were those the Winchester
Silver Tips?"

Humor just goes right over your head, doesn't it?

It's telling that what you are fantasizing about here
is not self-defence, but murder.

If the person under attack is, as you say, an "expert
shot," then he ought to be able to disable the
assailant with one, or perhaps two, well-placed
rounds, which might be survivable. Formal police
training, in fact, teaches that the proper procedure
is to discharge two quick rounds, aimed at the area
of largest body mass. With a Glock 40, that should be
sufficient. If not, then subsequent shots are, of
course, permissible.

Your little adolescent fantasy about firing
repeatedly, reloading if necessary, until the
assailant is dead, would generally be seen
as unacceptable to anyone but a member of
the New York City Police Department and would
probably get you charged with murder.

Who said it's a fantasy?

It's just a joke.

Goddamn, some people have no sense of humor. Lighten up.

No, it's not a joke, stupid. If you think it's a joke, then it's an obvious
indication of how badly you have been ****ed up and your mind is totally
warped. In fact, its far beyond the borders of perversion.

Your capitalist police state have created those who'd offer a dick to other
people's child by calling an "orphan". An if he'd say "I'm not an orphan",
the man will pull out a gun and make him an orphan by shooting his parents.
Than, after adopting him as own child, he'd pull out a dick and say "hey,
son, take my dick"...

That was an old, anti-capitalist-ameri**** joke... Do you see the
difference now?

First of all, I believe the message was a JOKE. That's HUMOR or FUNNY if you
don't comprende. Talk about ANAL.

Second of all, since you want to make it serious, you're dead wrong about
shooting to "disable" someone. If you are in fear for your life or the life
of another, then deadly force is justified. Being an "expert shot" is great,
but not necessary, to land a couple of slugs in the assailant's center mass
(middle of his chest). If you're really in FEAR, then you're not going to
take the time to line up the sights and try to hit his moving leg which is
running at you (and you probably won't hit anyway). You're much better off
to use (for example) the Israeli technique, wherin you basically point and
shoot without utilizing the sights. If you practice with this technique
you'd be amazed how accurate you can be without even looking at your sights.
As far as you little "dig" about the NYPD being murderers, well, you can
stick it up your ass. Pin on a shield and do what we (cops) do for a day and
then get back to me about shooting to disable people and other related
subjects. Until you KNOW what you are talking about, don't make statements -
ask questions - you'll look like less of an assclown.

To protect my family, I'd rip a man to pieces with my bare hands, feed the
remains to wild dogs, and watch as they nourish themselves with the marrow.

What do you think about that?

Well, we've already established that you're insane so no big surprise
that you can't take a joke.
