Political correctness has nothing to do with it.
Our INTENT is to stop. We just use "deadly force" to do it, and it may kill, but would be justified if it did.

You've completely misunderstood. There was nothing politically correct about what I said. Only a sociopath has the objective of killing. The purpose of employing deadly force is to stop the offense or threat of offense against liberty, when justified. Whether the offender dies as a result of the deadly force is a curious detail of the incident.I do not care for the political correctness. I will kill if my hand is forced/
I agree, WA allows the right to defend others which means that if I see someones life in danger, I can legally kill the attacker. Personally, I am not going to go and solve the problem myself unless of course that problems comes to me.
You mean you can legally use deadly force. We do not shoot in order to kill; we shoot in order to stop the threat. That distinction is vital.
This is easy for you to say. This is not always as easy to live with. Defending yourself is vital, but taking a life has repercussions that last years and years. The legal system will take you for a ride first if you have not been injured. After that it will be your heart/brain that will have to deal with a death. I hear a lot of people saying "I will kill" but not any who have said "I have killed". I do not recommend looking for the experience, training will win out at the end of the day and you may survive, but it will come with baggage.

Thanks MSG for stating this. This is exactly how I feel. I personally hope that I will never have to take the life of another, but if it comes down to protecting myself or somebody I care about from harm, I *hope* I can muster up the courage and do what is needed. The big question is what will I do afterwards... I know that it will change my life.
shooting in the ceiling was not a threat
That's the dumbest statement I've read all week. OF COURSE it was a threat.
Yea a threat to the ceiling...:lol::lol::lol:
With all due respect... ... ... a guy in a large retail store, misbehaving with a firearm by discharging it? Darn right any reasonable person would view that as a threat.
And what about anyone in the upper floor above that ceiling that has just been threatened?

Seriona has a good question. I, and my Sweet Baboo, have always been the ones to head to the gunfire, not away from it. Weather a vehicle accident or actual gunfire, I head into the mix.
I have said this before, Citizenship is a Verb.
