Again

Why the fuck do you need to take a loaded handgun with you on a babysitting job? I know it's Texas, but damn.

Apparently, she lived there. So the gun was probably laying around all the time.

Hey min, I just unlocked my gun safe and left it wide open. Why don't you come over and demonstrate what you're complaining about.

Let's hope your kids aren't wandering around. If they were, you might suddenly find yourself labeled "irresponsible."

My kids are fully grown adults with their own homes. Frankly, it's a wonder they survived to adulthood with all those guns in the house *sarcasm*. Seriously Min, you need a new pet peeve.

Though I may regret asking, I still have a morbid curiosity, so I'll ask; If we were together in a place where a criminal pulled out a gun and threatened violence, or worse, started shooting, would you be glad that I was there, and that I am highly trained, and have my sidearm with me; or do you think I shouldn't have a gun at all?

Would you shoot first?

Great Question. If the criminal with the gun is in fact threatening to do mortal harm to myself or others, then yes indeed I would shoot first to prevent the criminal from continuing with their plan. I would do what any cop (I'm not in law enforcement) in this situation would, and I would not only be legally justified in doing so, I'd also be a hero.

What if you just hurt the guy and he starts shooting randomly?
Are you that good?

First off - I would wait for a clear shot. If I didn't have one I would not fire. I would not risk endangering innocent bystanders just to play cowboy. And yes, I'm pretty accurate with most firearm configurations - especially my 1911 (it's a .45 cal. acp) which I almost always carry.
