Another thing to take into consideration here, and probably the most important thing, "Are you absolutely sure you can pull the trigger and are you willing to pull the trigger"?? Be honest with yourself. No need for anyone to respond to this post with a bunch of macho, bravado BS. You guys can keep your answer to yourself. When and if the sitiation arises, "Are you willing to pull the trigger? Can you pull the trigger?" Are you willing to kill a human being, another person? Are you willing to take the life of someones son, someones father, someones husband, someones brother? ARE YOU SURE? Think about.
This is a bridge I crossed some time ago. As per your request, I'll not reveal my answer, but try thinking of it this way: Am I someone's son, father, husband, or brother? How would they feel if I just sit here and wait to be killed? Or worse, my inaction causes them to be harmed, just because I couldn't muster the testicular fortitude necessary to protect them.
