Living in canada I can't just blow someones brains out if they threaten me and have everything forgiven because it was my first shot, I have to use my katana to defend myself. (Not kidding) The chance that I will slash them across the chest and spray the entire room with blood is pretty high and its a tough call what necessary force is. The guy could keep at me with a shallow wound on his chest, but I'm pretty sure if I tried to cut his head off I would be in the wrong. Also, it's doubtful I'd be able to aim for an arm or a leg without exposing myself to retaliation and since I'm not a trained samurai master the chance I would rupture an important organ is very good. Even if I try to use minimum force, chances are it would look so grizzly I would have a tough time in court. The one up side I see to the whole debacle is that someone trying to break in with a gun is way less likely.

I own a gun I'm content with the thought that it will stay in its safe under my bed for the rest of my life and never see the light of day.

But if someone were to enter my house, I'm more comfortable with the inevitable life long cloud of guilt (and possible legal ramifications) that would come from killing someone, than I would be with the life long cloud of guilt if someone were to enter my house and harm my wife and children while I stand by with no possible recourse.

I really don't mind if anything were to happen to me, but I have a family. As long as they're involved, no stranger is entering my house and surviving. Sorry to all the anti-gun people on TL, but I can't agree with you at all.
