Frankly, I have no firm opinion on this ongoing debate anyway because I can see both sides of the issue. A conundrum which I usually don't get into. I will admit that I have lived in neighborhoods where I felt I NEEDED a gun, but I'm not sure what my emotional state would have been if I had every NEEDED to use it.
I give that a lot of thought myself as a CCW holder. Being forced to kill someone in self defense means taking everything that person is and is ever going to be...they are someones child, likely someones spouse or someones parent...and I'd have to live with that.
I hope no one ever puts either of us in a position where we have to find out.
