No.. because I never said it was legal. I wasn't defending the legality of shooting someone; only that it would be reasonable to do so considering the mindset and fear involved with someone breaking into your home. I backed it up by saying that I would likely shoot someone myself if they were breaking into my house and I felt that I couldn't get them down without use of a gun.. which considering my size, would probably be one of my only options since if I attempted to do anything else they likely would turn to deadly force to defend themselves. I never said in my post, but I basically referenced that I was willing to face the legal consequences of shooting someone in self-defense without attempting lethal force.. You're defending points that weren't challenged.

You're not legally able to shoot someone to incapacitate them when there are much better ways to do so. Hit them in the head, tackle them, lots of things to do that aren't considered deadly force. I already countered your point in my first post...
So, in a purely hypothetical situation,if a young lady of sorts with average build was confronted by 2 individuals in her own home.
She would not be legaly able to use a firearm in self defense, not by a lethal force but for instance shot the foot or knee [yes both being completely possible to be lethal].
She would face a higher charge than said individuals?

I already answered that in my post.
The quote clearly references "circumstances."
That is a circumstance in which an alternative force may be necessary.
My post even says "when there are much better ways to do so." Obviously those ways are not available to everyone, which is why the word "when" is there...

Are you done now?

To clear all this unnecessary shit up: no, I would not be trying to kill anyone on my property unless they posed as a deadly threat to me. And if it did come to be drawing my firearm, it would (in most cases) be to just scare a trespasser off.

Now, everyone taking part in this pointless argument, shut up. If you're still hell bent on arguing, use private messaging for God's sake, don't spam the fuck out of the rant thread.

You just dug yourself into the deepest hole right there.
You'll never live this down.
Ever.
From now, you will always be known as the man of Halomods who groped a black guy's junk.

Perhaps he's using these negative discussions to hide behind his feelings for you. Maybe he's loved you for the longest of times but never wanted to say anything out of fear of rejection?

You should go to Tural and express your feelings. Chicks love that stuff. The worst Tural could say is no, right?

Why are you asking me? Ask xbox.

On a serious note though, you should probably stay out of conversations you don't understand references in...

And don't address me by name either, for any reason. You call me Tural.
