When did I say I didn't support self-defense? I just don't see a handgun as a self-defense tool. Hopefully, young Mr. Eells has arrived at the same conclusion.
I would think that introducing a handgun into any situation, enhances the potential for a violent and undesirable outcome, as was demonstrated, so clearly, in this case.
I'm sure that you or I would have responded differently in this situation, but not knowing the exact details and neither of us having been there, it is hard to say what either of us might have done. But, I hope that we would have had a little more maturity, life experience and situational awareness. Hopefully less testosterone.
