Guest Len B'stard Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Waiting for an opportunity to fatally shoot somebody - because your know a certain event is inevitable - is sociopathic behaviour. The shooter had an implicit desire to kill.Somebody with more of a rationale would have asked the robber to put his hands behind his head, and get on the ground (while he phoned 911). If the robber declined that request, or pulled a weapon himself, kneecap him.Spoken like a true Irishman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downzy Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Actually the whole subject is so fucked up, armed self defense I mean. All the outcomes are horrible, there's no denying that. Just trying to make the right judgement in a given scenario, how the legal system should react etc.One thing I can't get over my head is, why do people spend so much money on building an arsenal when there would be much more humane and even safer alternatives such as;1. Getting a good alarm system with video cameras and monitors2. Getting one or more big dogs if possible3. Panic roomI bet at least one of the options could be obtained with the amount of money being used to getting a huge arsenal when more than two guns is enough for armed self defense..Because paranoia and rational thought are generally mutually exclusive concepts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
