Just so.
I was always grateful that I never found myself in that position.IE I managed to actively avoid going to Vietnam.
You hit the nail on the head; it is the function of a firearm to kill people. I would not be able to live with myself if I killed another person, either with my car, or in self defence
In Oz, our laws on self defence may be different than say the US; in defending oneself, one is only permitted to use 'reasonable force' .You better have a good lawyer if you kill some one 'in self defence"
