I believe you to be better people than that--Better people than say, Drich.
I don't believe I said I'd kill first and ask questions later. I said I'd defend myself to the best of my ability and if that resulted in their death I would not feel bad about it. That's the idea behind why self defence isn't considered murder, because everyone has a right to life and a right to defend their own lives. And I don't believe I was talking about me actively going out of my home into theirs and slaughtering them, I was talking about them right this second physically threatening my life. The only other option seems to be not defend myself and just let them kill me.
