It's been my observation over the years that the most vigorous anti-gun proponents know nothing about guns, are afraid of guns, are not inclined to defend themselves under any circumstances or, typically, all three.

No, I'm for defense spending. But I think defense spending is bloated, full of corruption and incompetence and should be as vulnerable to cuts as spending for hungry children and unpaved roads.I don't think many Conservatives agree with me on that. They tell me so everyday.

All laws can be argued thus. And yet law, the rule of law, is what makes civilizations great.How do you expect people to accept your version of the common good if you can't get them to agree by debate?Debate. Not coercion by gunpoint.
Once force is accepted as a solution, there is no more freedom.
Obamacare was forced on those who disagreed with it by coercion backed up with the threat of force. Therefore, you must agree there is no freedom on that issue.
Sorry bout that,
1. When your direct family is the ones under attack, by lets say men trying to kick in your front door, could you open fire on some strangers?
2. What if it was an abulance driver who forgot to ring the bell and started kicking in the door by accident?

One warning shot should stop any honorable person from finishing kicking in the door. If it doesn't, shoot.
The second amendment refers to a private citizen to bear weapons, not the U.S. Military. And it is NOT outdated.The right to arms is all about killing people, as it is sometimes necessary to do so.Basically it is like any tool, it is the use it is put to.
However one thing to consider is that many guns are only designed for shooting people.
No quite like killing someone with a hammer which has several other useful purposes.
Given that, the "many guns are only designed for shooting people" are -exactly- those protected by the Constitution."A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
I'm still thinkin'.....the fact, we now have a standing-Army, makes this Amendment a mere antiquity.
Fire a "warning shot" in your own home? Where? If they are kicking your door in you shouldn't waste a shot at the ceiling. Center mass should be your target.

It would be difficult enough for me to use lethal violence against another human in any case without at least making an honest attempt to avert it when a threat wasn't instantly imminent. So the guy kicking my door gets a warning. He darn well better take it though because if he then continues, I could and would target center mass.

1. Okay you fired a warning shot, then all four opened fire on you and killed you.
2. Your a fair kinda guy there dude.
3. Then they made it in and killed your whole family, just because you were so fair, thats fair!
4. I guess, for you.

They don't know where you are so the odds of them choosing the exact spot to hit you when they can't see you would make it worth the risk to ensure that I wasn't inadvertently firing on firefighters or the police, Many decisions we make in our lifetime involve some risk. And it all has to be balanced against the risk I am willing to assume.
I value my life, the lives of my loved ones, and all innocent people more than I value the lives of those who would presume to harm the innocent. And that is why I believe I could shoot if I had to do that to prevent that harm. But I sure want to feel secure in my own heart that it was necessary.
And because I believe most people share my convictions about that, I feel more secure and more safe knowing that some people around me are legally carrying concealed weapons. And I feel affirmed that so far NONE of those legally carrying concealed weapons in our state have ever use those weapons inappropriately or illegally.

1. Who's says they don't know where you are, they have night vision goggles, and your front door has all clear glass in it, so its very easy for anyone to see you, also the back door is a fullview door.
2. Your only chance is *stealth* and surprise, so you don't use your advantage, you just stand there out in the open shooting at the ceiling???
3. As you shoot your humanitys sake warning shot?
