James & Billie,
That is not only sound advice, but it is the most sensible advice in States where CCP are leagal.
Nevada as well as Texas, are two of the many 'enlightened States, & now Florida, has joined the growing numbers.
I do not agree with people who say it is 'un-Christian, to be prepared to take someones life who is trying to take yours.
As, generally the people who commit violent crimes are the scum of the earth, it seems more 'Christian' to make sure that these people cannot do it to others.
As a Local police officer who lived a few house away advised us,
"If someone attacks you or breaks in your house, make sure you shoot to kill, as they will only sue you if you wound them."
Not only that, if they go to jail,it's our tax dollars that keep them, though 'incarcerated', in a more luxourious style, with ample learning & leisure opportunity's, than most honest people can afford.
Have you noticed, that the States with the most gun-related acts of violence, are the ones, that lawful possesion of a firearm is banned to the average citizen. The only people with guns, are the criminals who where never licensed to have them in the first place.
Like you wrote, there will be people who disagree with these statements, I just only hope they never have to go through the scenario of a violent attack, when they wish that they could have a weapon to protect themselves.
Very good valid post James & Billie.
Your friend in Las Vegas, Nevada.
