Message Subject Why shoot innocent people who break into your house?

I am a firearms instructor and this is how we teach about this scenario. We call it the 21 foot rule.
In test after test this is how it breaks down: a man is within 21 feet of you and has a knife and you have a gun. The man with the knife can close that distance and attack you with that knife faster than you can draw your gun every time. The average attacker can close that distance in less than 2 seconds. So, by the time you unholster your weapon and make a judgement call you are toast.
If someone has broken into your house with you still in it chances are they are there to do more than rob you. I'm sure there are situations where they are drunk or confused, but how can you gamble with your life and lives of your family deciding what their intentions are?

I know what you're talking about, which is another reason its very hard to decide what the guy breaking into your house is about to do.

Nice karma, please reveal yourself so I can see your reasoning. lol "Retard.... Protect your self & family. Wait,.. you don't have kid's...you woulden't understand..."
