I agree with the blonde. I donāt know why everyone is picking on her. She is just following her emotions. Nobody got hurt. It was a hypothetical situation. She has her first amendment right that she is protecting. They are just picking on her because she is blonde. 
I donāt WANT to kill anyone; deadly force is a last resort when all other options have failed. If I am forced to it, I will shoot to stop a threat against me and mine. Whatever the final outcome, the fault lies with the instigator.
I remember a line from some book I read a long time ago. āMost of the time you donāt want people dead. You just want them to leave you alone for a while.ā

This is a funny video but also sums up the southern mentality nicely. What would you do if I broke into your house? #shorts - YouTube

My wife is a true girly-girl, Born and raised in Los Angelesā¦an honest to goodness Valley Girl. She doesnāt enjoy shooting as a sport. But once we moved to NM she pretty immediately wanted to get her CCW, and she carries nearly every time she leaves the house, including at her part time ājobā helping a friend in a retail shop. I wish sheād get more range time with me than she does, but sheās an accurate shooter who knows how to safely handle her little P238. She also knows how to clear and safety check most firearms. And pity the fool who decides to threaten her life (or invade our home, for that matter). She knew I owned guns back when we first met, but since then Iāve acquired a lot more, and sheās had no objection. She always asks if Iām carrying whenever I leave the house. On top of all that, she puts up with me. Iād say sheās a keeper.

That girls clearly quite sheltered. Sheās almost certainly never had any crime perpetuated on her or her social circle, and probably sees it as something that happens to someone else, somewhere else.
Generally what happens to change the minds of people like these is a close encounter of the criminal kind. I really hope that doesnāt happen to her though, and if it does, I hope sheās not too badly hurtā¦

I agree with your thoughts on this.
About ten years ago, there was a young graduate student living at the dead end of our street with her Mom. Mom was getting on in years and not able to get around very well. The were hard core against all guns and any violence. They had a state of the art security system with signs posted and a āgun free zoneā sign posted in the front yard easily seen for the road.
They were broken into four times in six months. The first two times the bad guys just came in waving guns around, yelling and screaming, terrorizing the girl and her mom. There was a guy outside listening for sirens, timing the response. They disappeared. The third time they hit, the bad guys were firing their weapons around the house to keep the girl and mom pinned down. They had more guys and stole everything they could carry - purses, laptops, big screen tv, carsā¦
They disappeared again.
The girl consulted a security specialist. She cancelled her security company subscription. She bought a pistol, took classes, learned how to use it, she re-arranged her front room and installed a huge concrete planter.
The next time the bad guys hit, she killed three of them in her foyer, two more fled the house with gunshot wounds and were later found at the hospital. They both died.
She was able to protect herself and her Mom, but the entire ordeal changed her and she just wasnāt right after that. She finished her graduate studies and they moved out.

Of course it changes you. You find out the hard way that there really ARE people out to get you, or at least get your stuff, over your dead body if necessary, and it makes you paranoid.
I was carjacked earlier this year while sitting in my car talking to my lady on the phone. I wasnāt hurt thankfully, and my car was replaced with a better model, but these days I canāt get out of that car fast enough when itās not moving. Iāll rush my lady off the phone, she understands why. This also caused me to get my first firearm after thinking about it for years, and my headās on a swivel when Iām outside my house, because I KNOW Iām not safe. I doubt Iāll ever feel completely safe again; such is the price of this type of āenlightenmentā.

You have set your mind to two things, 1. the fact the people like that are animals and would end your life in a heartbeat. 2. Once you have made that realization you have to set your mind that its kill or be killed.

My wife had never handled a firearm before she met me.
She went shooting with me as one of our dates.
I was clear, I am a person who has firearms and I told her of my past trama and my reasons why.
She understood.
She claimed one of my guns as soon as we were married.
She now has 4 firearms total, a G2C, AR15, Ruger Mark4 22/45 lite, 10/22.
I still aquire firearms here and thereā¦ maybe not as many as I once did but I try for 1 every other month or soā¦
Expanding my carry guns, have gotten into 10mm, have 2 and am looking at 1-2 more at least for carry 10mm full size. Just got another 9mm in a compact and with the nee Springfield, want that in the next month or so plus another MC9 as I want it in Black.
Wife is okay with more guns coming home as long as im not spending money on them (trading labor for guns mostly).
My wifes family, not really into firearmsā¦
My wife, into firearms and is growingā¦
I told myself a long time ago, I will not marry anyone who is not accepting of me and firearms.
My wife tells me she feels really safe with me wherever we goā¦ Iām a big gentle guy, but become a danger to me and mine, my wife holds my off hand for a reasonā¦

My rule is for home defense is bad guys can do anything they want. Steal my car, I got insurance. I aint going outside to stop a property crime. But if they enter when they know I am home all bets are off.

No one wants a home invader to die.
Problem with that is the home invader part.
Once they cross that threshold, itās not an unlikely outcome.
