I always do what is necessary, not what I might like to do in a situation like this.
And if I wished to lie here, I would have killed all of these fockers, just to teach them a lesson. Who do they think their fockin with.
But I'll leave the Bull Shit to Zeke, he's an expert !

I've got a pretty good idea of what happens if you kill someone, whether justified or not.
In Missouri we have the Castle Doctrine Law, which only gives you a defense for the use of lethal force, not a right. And by the same token, if you produce a firearm first, you have now given your adversary the same defense.
As I was taught, if you are in fear of your life to the extent that you pull a weapon, then you should be in fear of your life to the extent to use it. The argument being that if you don't use your weapon, then you weren't actually in fear of your life.
The lawyers will decide that one while you're sitting in court.
My thinking is, if the only thing that stood between my wife and multiple opponents was myself with a revolver, and they showed no indication to break off the engagement, I would PROBABLY start things by changing the odds we were facing.
Of course I live in Bugtussell, don't lock my doors, and although I have a CCW, the only time I've carried was when I was changing locks for some people who were have a heated domestic at the time.
