If you think this way you'd be better off living 100 years back in the wild wild west
where you could solve a issue with a gun fight.
Protecting your home, country etc. is a Job of the Police and the Army, not you and your gun.
Yeah, I can see it now -
"Please, Mr burglar / drugged-out freak / murderer - even though you broke into my home with the premeditated and desperate intention of committing a crime against me and my family, would you mind waiting until we can mobilize the Army and the local Police force? Sure, I realize since you broke in you are probably armed yourself, and I realize that in your desperation you'll probably figure out that killing us will probably extend your chances of getting away undetected. But, I'm sure you'll be reasonable and wait until all the proper authorities arrive, and we'll all have a nice, calm sit-down discussion and work this out peacefully."
Yeah, I'm sure that's the way it would work out...
BTW -
There's a HUGE difference between protecting your family out of necessity, and "solve a issue with a gun fight".
Oh, that's right - living in the USA today is JUST like it is depicted in the old West and gangster movies.
Damn, I've been here all my life - how COULD I forget that!!
