Like I said in my original post, it is quite the opposite. I live in a nice area, and it is rare that I carry a gun. When I do feel its required, I certainly don't wander around looking for trouble.
I've hunted my entire life. I've watched large animals die. The choice to even display a gun is a deadly serious one. If I were to point a gun at a man and pull the trigger, it would be because I felt there was absolutely no other option to protect myself and my family. Even if I was in a state that did not require me to retreat, I would retreat to safety if that was an option. I'm not some blood thirsty nutter looking to take out his rage on others. Regardless if the person attacking you is criminal lunatic, the fact is, they have a mother, they have friends, they have siblings. If you kill them, they will experience terrible pain.
My position on the NYC/bikers scenario is unchanged, even in light of what I have said above. The gang chasing this man and his family had clearly shown they had violent intentions. If one of them chose to violate the space where my family was, I would kill him without hesitation. Thats not bravado, thats is simply how I would react.
