In May 2005 I was assaulted 15 feet from a door to my home by a man I had never seen before. In a fraction of a second I made the choice not fight and went back into my home to call the police and grab my gun. The assailant decided he was not done and broke down the back door with his bare hands and entered my home with the intent to cause great bodily injury. Upon entering the home he told me how many different ways he was going to kill me. Also mentioned that he was a former British SAS. The gun undoubtedly saved my life. I would not have stood a chance against a trained SAS in hand to hand combat.
Guns set limits and boundaries for people who are unable to do so for themselves. I firmly believe in using them to stop threats, even if that means having to take a life to save your own. If you take out a gun you must unequivocally be willing to use it. I take owning a gun very seriously and shoot regularly on a range. More importantly is that I have completed over 75 hours of classroom and on range education.
