Reply #8: Absolutely 100% fair enough.

It's easy to use hindsight (as I did in my post) to make conclusions.

My point is that if you'd shot him as he attacked you with a knife (especially if you knew that the phone line was cut) then I would be 100% behind you in your right to defend yourself with whatever means you had.

I misunderstood your comment - I thought you were saying "I wish I'd shot him", which is an entirely different thing altogether.

Apologies for the confusion.

BTW - can I point out that if you click "Reply" on the comment that you want to respond to, rather than the last comment posted, then it's easier to follow the discussion point-by-point! (Sorry if you already know this, it's just that your responses to earlier comments keep appearing at the bottom, rather than below the comments you refer back to)!
