93. My young female is EXTREMELY protective of me

I am definately hers, she follows me EVERYWHERE I go when we are together. She sleeps on my side of the bed and even lays outside the shower waiting for me while I shower. If I am sleeping and even my wife comes down the hallway towards our bedroom, she will get up and put herself between us, not agressively but she lets me know someone is coming. I do think she would definately die protecting me if it came down to it.

Does any pro gun control person think you should not be able to use a gun in your home? [View all]	Logical	Mar 2012	OP
You asked two different questions.	ellisonz	Mar 2012	#1
If he is fleeing the home or in retreat, severe bodily is harm clearly is not imminent for you.	geckosfeet	Mar 2012	#2
The way I understand the Castle Doctrine in Ohio is if someone	doc03	Mar 2012	#4
That may be so in Ohio. In MA there must be a disparity of force AND	geckosfeet	Mar 2012	#5
I am missing any reference to "disparity of force"	pipoman	Mar 2012	#16
Or if you both have guns there is no disparity of force so you can't shoot??????	kestrel91316	Mar 2012	#17
No - if someone pulls gun on you there is disparity, lethal force is defensable.	geckosfeet	Mar 2012	#38
You can't preemtively defend/attack period. There must be a threat of bodily harm.	geckosfeet	Mar 2012	#35
If that is true, it bears no resemblance to	pipoman	Mar 2012	#41
That may not be an accurate interpretation.	ManiacJoe	Mar 2012	#23

If they are in my home, this should be all a reasonable person needs to conclude intent to harm.	Atypical Liberal	Mar 2012	#53
Good luck with that attitude.	Starboard Tack	Mar 2012	#66

No you don't have it right	Starboard Tack	Apr 2012	#113
I just re-read my post	WinniSkipper	Apr 2012	#114
I'm not sure where we disagree.	Starboard Tack	Apr 2012	#115

In that event, the only question I'll be asking is	discntnt_irny_srcsm	Mar 2012	#28
Good luck if the perp has a gun and decides to shoot your dog too.	geckosfeet	Mar 2012	#7
Good luck if the perp is six cops in full riot gear who didn't bother knocking.	saras	Mar 2012	#26

Would you agree with a shotgun? Or a pistol caliber carbine?	oneshooter	Mar 2012	#8
Makes it a little tough to call 911 with both hands occupied.	Lizzie Poppet	Mar 2012	#83
Yes, ignore all those people who've protected themselves with handguns- they're bullshit.	X_Digger	Mar 2012	#9
Should we also ignore all those people who've accidentally killed family members?	jeff47	Mar 2012	#10
what statistic is that?	gejohnston	Mar 2012	#11
How 'bout 1993?	jeff47	Mar 2012	#29
actually it is	gejohnston	Mar 2012	#30
The reason I linked to wikipedia is so the controversy was covered. As for actual numbers	jeff47	Mar 2012	#50
one major flaw	gejohnston	Mar 2012	#55
That's probably the biggest flaw with the '86 study.	eqfan592	Mar 2012	#58
Except that's not what people are proposing	jeff47	Mar 2012	#63
Reality doesn't change just because you have "a hard time believing it."	eqfan592	Mar 2012	#68

Accidental shootings are at historic lows.	X_Digger	Mar 2012	#15
Ok, then you're roughly double as likely to accidentally kill someone than shoot an intruder	jeff47	Mar 2012	#49
You do understand your ignoring all defense firearm uses...	eqfan592	Mar 2012	#59
I'm also ignoring all accidental firearm uses that aren't fatal.	jeff47	Mar 2012	#64
But it's NOT equivalent because you are ignoring DGU's where no shots were even fired.	eqfan592	Mar 2012	#79
Not quite..	X_Digger	Mar 2012	#74
You also have to look at it from the accidental side.	jeff47	Mar 2012	#76
Accidental shootings (non-fatal) are also at historic lows.	X_Digger	Mar 2012	#82
