RE: bow for defense

RE: bow for defense
i'll be the first taker....
if thats all i got, i'll give it what i got if im cornered in my room...Bo and Luke Duke never used no guns
but, the chances of that are super unlikely to happen in my house....wont go into details, but anyone stupid enough to break into my house while dad or I is home, well, they will make the stupidest person of the year award IMO...i dont wanna shoot anyone...never wanna be faced with that decision or put into that situation, but i surely aint gunna sit back and end up dead or family dead over some low life...

RE: bow for defense
Last resort, yes I would use my bow, and try to surprise the intruder with an arrow vs. him knowing I am defending myself with a bow. I have a P229 Sig Sauer chambered in .357 Sigthat says I won't have to resort to this measure ; ) Problem with this scenario is that you cannot legally shoot someone, even if they are in your house unless your life or a family members is under direct threat. So for you to find this out, you would have to be in relatively close proximity, in my opinion to close to have a bow in my hand.

RE: bow for defense
Yep! If that is the most deadly thing I had within reach, I sure would. Like others have said though, slim chance I'll be caught without a loaded firearm with arms reach while in my house.
Edit: sr77, You don't live in Texas do you? Check out the Castle Doctrine.
If an intruder is in your house, you can assume that he is there to do you or your family harm.
