Not too long ago, Spectre posted a scenario which ended up a win win. Looking at how she responded makes her a heavy duty survivor. (Please read the thread)
So the question is, how many of you believe that a gun is good enough for self-defense?
Or do you believe in a gun backed up with another gun is the way to go?
Or, some of you believe in a gun as primary with knife as back up is the better choice?
For a long time, i had already gone through this argument with unarmed self-defense. I had originally learned hard-core jiujitsu...breaking limb techniques, choke outs, eye and throat jabs first, groin grabs, throws to make the BG land on head or with arm locked. All made to end the fight quickly to the demise of the BG.
Trouble was, what about situations that didn't call for lethal responses, but still needed a response to control the BG? or it was a relative or loved one and you couldn't quite get yourself to "hospitalize" them?
Well, all of you that have chosen a gun as a self-defense tool have accepted the fact that if you have to pull your handgun of choice for self-defense...you might have to take a life to save a life....?
What do you do if the situation changes and you don't need to fire your weapon? What do you do?
