Aaron-

I stated that with my twisted sense of humor, I usually go a few seps past the point of poor taste. With my wife that time, I did mention weight! In hindsight, BIG MISTAKE! My wife really let me have it for that! But it was an honest mistake, we were playing around and I went too far!

As for CB, well I really want to be qualified, so I need to shot someone (

). I figure since he is setting up the qualifications, maybe he would volunteer. I wouldn't kill him, maybe wing his arm or something!

Once again you insult us by "demanding" that we give you proof on something. The typical childish, "I know you are, but what am I?" response. Yet... almost every post of yours in this thread is riddled with hypotheticals, conjecture and what ifs.... as in, "Chances are..." "More than likely..." and so on.

Your question has been answered in more ways and by better MEN than you could ever hope to be. IF and WHEN you step out into the real world, instead of your sheltered college life, and get your eyes opened by the cold realities that alot of us deal with on a daily basis, MAYBE THEN you will begin to understand. Personally.... I seriously doubt it.

Actually YES. Want to know the psychological crap you have to go through after shooting someone? Want to know the investigation that follows a shooting?

Sorry Sam, I did not know that. I would not have made a joke about this had I known!

CB

Are you actually trying to infer that you are not a liberal? Every post you are on the same side of the issue. The LEFT side. It always seems to be the same like-minded people basically against you.

BTW how do you qualify to shoot someone by shooting someone? Do you mean our military personnel are not qualified until they shoot someone? Then what is all the training for? You are supposed to train,train,train and train again in hopes that when the time comes you will be able to fall back on your training. What you said makes no sense.
If the intruder has a gun and I have a gun you are right its a 50/50 chance. IF he has a gun and I don't, I have no chance. If I have a gun and he doesn't, well then......

In the words of Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf...It's God's job to forgive...it's our job to arrange the meeting!

Do you have a problem with people of different opinions?

Not at all. I do have a problem when people try to force their belief system on me in the name of "tolerance".

But thats not what I said. I said that CB was trying to say he was not a liberal. Nothing else. You read what you wanted into what I said.
It seems that he is not proud to be called what he is.
I know what I am. A total right-wing conservative with attitude.

Sorry if I came off like a goof-ball.

Differences of opinion make ours the greatest country on earth.

I know the psychological issues that you have to go through as a cop when you have shot someone. My cousin had to unfortunately kill a man last month that was trying to commit suicide by cop. They did everything they could to stop him, but when he fires at the cops that was the last straw. He is still a total wreck at times, and his therapy is intense.

You said that if someone was to come in your house and threaten your family with a gun then you would in the end use your gun to remove the man, either through killing, or try and get him to leave. But when you are forced into a situation of you have a gun and he has a gun, you are forcing him to either kill you or you kill him. That will lead to a 50% chance. Given you go through the above motions you mentioned the person would already know where you are at, so surprise isn't an issue.

No ones knows what they are going to do until they are in that situation. No amount of practice of shooting paper targets can prepare a person for what they have to do to shot a person. I have heard too many cases of people freezing up with a gun to trust a person with my life unless I know they have already shot someone. Now is that saying that a person who hasn't shot anyone can not shot someone, no, but you never know, that is why I don't trust them.
