As for killing another human... If it's a choice between killing someone else or my family not surviving, I don't need to have an exhaustive internal debate. I'll make a judgement call and sleep with a clear conscience.

If you've never had a spoon pointed at you, or have never needed to have one "ready" for action as you investigate something....it's hard to explain. Twice, in recent years, I've had to do the latter....my pulse rate must've been 200. I wasn't referring to you though. I know several folks who never shot a spoon their whole lives, got a CCW after 50 years, and now carry...I'd run as far away as I could from them if the shtf....they scare me...seriously. In the "real world", schit gets real...real fast imo. I wish it were always binary....it rarely is imo.
