Trying to be a good Christian person but believing in self defense and the right to legally carry for self defense I am troubled by the possibility of taking a life in the defense of myself or a loved one. I understand all the talk of personal injury suits when wounding someone and so on but I wonder if killing is always necessary as many teach. Double taps to the torso etc. It would seem that a confrontation could be halted and a life saved, mine and theirs, by merely wounding an armed attacker. I also believe in many circumstances I would have the time and ability to merely wound my adversary and end an attack. Naturally the circumstances of the attack would determine the response from me. I carry pepper spray as a first response and a dominant caliber if escallation is necessary that even a shoulder shot would probably end the attack quickly. Am I wrong? Lets hear your theory or personal experiances in this matter. Not just lawyer or LEO talk but your inner feelings also. Thanks much, Respectifully, Bob T.
