[QUOTE="liliysdad, post: 33713, member: 51"] My intent was not to single you out, I simply meant "you" as the general shooter in a lethal force scenario. I have heard this statemtn several times, and I find it to be terrible advice. The first time a prosecuting attorney finds out a person has stated in the past "If I ever have to shoot someone, Im gonna make sure they are dead", it has immediately become a crime with intent. It may not wash in a jury trial, but you are still out the time, money, and heartache of having to go thorugh such an ordeal. I have absolutely no idea how you race got intertwined in this discussion, and I honestly do not care. It does not matter if you are white, black, purple, or blue, a righteous shoot either is or it isnt, not much more to say. People wonder why there are still race issues in this day and age, and then statements such as these are made. Seems to explain a lot of things. The fact is, the use of deadly force is a terrible thing to have to do. I hope that I can retire in 23 years having never pulled the trigger. If I do have to, I sincerely hope the bad guy lives. However, my goal is to stop the threat, and killing the individual is the surest way to ensure that threat is stopped. And no, I dont care what color they are. [/QUOTE]
