If you are trained in handling a firearm, your shot could be pretty accurate. I'm assuming here that any household with a gun knows how to use it, and has training in order to make them a better shot.
You would be surprised how much training it takes to get somebody to intentionally put a bit of lead in somebody else's body. Yes I know men talk big down the pub, but when faced with it it's another matter. Even then the effects on those that have shot and killed does not end when we say; well you had a perfect right to do that, and it was a good thing, and you were doing your job, and you protected us.
But hey this is a blokes debate, men have massive weapons, I want one is all that matters.
