All,
This thread is a continuation of “Are you responsible [Part1]”. In this thread, I’d like the community to discuss what risk to innocents we will accept to defend ourselves or a loved one against attack.
The situation is this;
1) You or your loved one are being attacked by an assailant who has shown beyond a doubt that Intent, Opportunity and Ability to cause grievous harm or death.
2) The immediate area is heavily populated with innocent people not involved with the attack in any way shape or form.
3) The chance of striking an innocent person cannot be reduced below 50% due to your current situation. This aspect cannot be changed for this discussion.
4) The risk to others can neither be mitigated nor negated unless you choose not to fire.
5) The choice not to fire will most likely result in the grievous injury or death of yourself or a loved one.
6) The decision to fire will not necessarily save yourself or a loved one
What level of risk to others will you accept in the defense of yourself or a loved one?
Very Respectfully,
~Matt
