i own a pistol…but i dont know if i could bring myself to shoot someone unless i knew they were armed…statistics show that when someone breaks into your house 99% of the time they are unarmed (im talking about a gun, not a knife,shank,screw driver etc…that could be used as a weapon) im sure i would just scare the fuck out of them with it…but, if they did have a knife/screw driver that they were gonna use…id swap the pistol for a good ol’ louisville slugger and play home run derby with their head/arms/legs…
