In any case, I don't know should still be an option!

Yeah, but these are all mind games. I tend to believe that I would kill anyone with my bare hands if they were to hurt one of my loved ones. But I couldn't say for sure, since I've never been in that situation and hopefully never will.

And I agree, the don't know option is the only honest one for everyone not having been in that situation. Noone being honest with themselves can say for sure unless they already pulled the trigger.
