Look, I'm not saying that nobody should have guns. I'm just saying that going to the firing range a few times a month and memorizing a checklist can't possibly prepare the average person for the stress of this type of situation. It's unrealistic to think that adrenaline and fear are going to allow you to get it right 100% of the time.
I'm prone to agree with that. I mean if its dark and its someone you can't see, and you've got fight or flight kicking in. I mean, I think instincts are going to take over. I think only experienced people with guns or cops could keep their fight or flight rush under control and make a rational decision in such a tense situation. Knowing me, if someone came in who I wasn't expecting I'd just mess them up and not think twice. Hence, why I'll never own a gun. I'll stick with an alarm system. Maybe a tazer. lol
