Someone breaks into your home.

You have a gun and decide to use it. Aim to kill or to wound? Why?

Wow everyone here is ready to kill. What a disappointment. Those who you are aiming to kill are humans too. Guns got y’all messed up
@Dlrannie Well, I piss and moan about the summary executions that happen here in the states, so I can't really criticize England's reasoning for unarmed police. I just wish our police force here was more carefully screened. Sometimes they are simply a well equipped gang. The police here are damn decent, but up north and out west, a lot of them seem shell shocked or just plain fascist. That Mesa Arizona cop murdered a kid in shorts and T shirt who was crawling on the floor pleading for his life, those guys in Cali who beat the homeless man to death for what seemed to be pure entertainment, the six guys in New Mexico who unloaded into a homeless schizophrenic who was walking away from them. There 'are' too many cases. They need a Minnesota Personality Inventory Standard in the police department.
........In retrospect, I can see why cops in extremely blue areas are messed up in the head. No one even wants to be a cop in Portland Oregon any more, and the same thing is happening in other psychosocialist hives.

@puck61 Out of 150,000 police officers in England some 6,500 are extensively vetted and trained in the use of firearms and retrained on a regular basis - guns are kept in Armed Response Vehicles or Police Stations and can only be deployed if authorised by Senior Officers. It is extremely rare for the Police to discharge a weapon.

If you're going to pull the trigger, make sure you're ready to kill. Aiming to wound is a Hollywood thing.

Another thing, if you buy or have a gun, practice! Go out and shoot! You do not want to have to "think" about how to use it only when. You should get to a point that the ability to use it is as effortless as using a hair dryer. KNOW your weapon and how to use it before you need to.
@OwnerOfMany You have to get a good grouping at a gun range before they will give you a conceal carry permit, but it's good to practice.
OwnerOfMany · 90-99, M
@puck61 She didn't mention carrying. A lot of people keep a gun and don't carry. My only point was she needs to be proficient with a firearm if she has one.
@OwnerOfMany Okay....okay.....a woman really should just go ahead and get a concealed carry though. If you get a break in, you're not going to fumble for the lock box, and then fumble for the bullets and the clip, etc etc. Just keep your purse on the night stand!

Kill.
Because that is the only way I can ensure he stays down.
MasterLee · 56-60, M
Always aim to kill.
OwnerOfMany · 90-99, M
Kill. Two shots MINIMUM center chest. Why? Because 75+% of those who would break in your house with you home would have no problem killing you.

Kill, i hate to make it that way, but that person made their choice, and i made mine

Aim to kill. Who knows if they are on drugs, have a weapon of their own, or whatever.

If they break in my house they ain't leaving. Except in a body bag.
SW-User
kill, im not taking chances with my family
silkandlace · 46-50, M
@SW-User right
I've had a law enforcement officer tell me and my friend to "empty the clip"! When it comes to home invasions, empty the clip.
MasterLee · 56-60, M
@puck61 only reload if they are still moving.
@MasterLee Yeah, and we know the difference between some drunk who is lost, and a home invasion. 🙄 Sometimes anti gun folks seem to have the idea that we are just drooling for the chance to shoot somebody.
i wouldn't want to kill someone im not evil

@IstillmissEP id shoot u in ur balls
To kill of course. If they are wounded they can pull out their gun and shoot you.
To be honest with you I just shoot. I’m not a very good shot.
Aim to kill.
If they are on drugs just wounding will not stop them
Miram · 31-35, F
To wound. I have to know why they broke in, if someone sent them and if I should be anticipating more threats.

If I do realize they have a gun, to kill.
Miram · 31-35, F
@OwnerOfMany

I already been put into a more complex position, and I have no desire in engaging in unnecessary extreme measures again. My response is only relevant to my own abilities, not someone else's though it's good advice.
OwnerOfMany · 90-99, M
@Miram You know what is best for you.
It has just been my nature to try to tip the scales so that good overcame evil.
I wish you luck in life.
Miram · 31-35, F
@OwnerOfMany 🤗 I wish you peace and joy.
🔫 straight between the 👀
MasterLee · 56-60, M
@Marta aim center mass. Less chance to miss and allows for additional firings.

Just kill 'em.
Whether or not you decide to wound or kill remember to drag the body into the house before calling LE, you want it self defense not manslaughter.
Wound. In order for me to aim to kill that person that person would have to shot me for me to kill him/her
silkandlace · 46-50, M
If they come through that door, they're going back out with a few holes......

Kill. Deadmen can't sue.
