    Would you be able to recognize a threat to your life?
    Would you be able to combat that threat?
    Would you be willing to take a life to defend yourself/family?
    Absolutely. I have no doubt that I can take a life, I've seen time and time again how I act without panic and without fear. My biggest concern would be dealing with the impact afterwards. Dealing with the feelings of taking a life and any possible remorse.

    I don't even know if I will have remorse but I've had friends in the military who have problems sleeping because of the people they've killed. Granted, they were the aggressors but still you never know how it's going to impact you.

    Short answer, yes without hesitation.

    I can relate to your response. I too believe that I can do that without hesitance, my spirit has never been angry or hateful. But watching George Floyd be killed real time, really did something to how I respond to the rest of this life. Be safe bro, B1..

    Yes
    Yes
    In a heartbeat.

    The older I get the more aware I become of my surroundings, borderline parinoid. I have cameras that cover every angle of my house, I have 3 dogs and many candy bars...
    I hope I'll never have to ruin the walls in my house, but if tested, home depot isn't far.

    Yes. Was actually in a situation like this two days ago with my son. But as soon as I got up to extinguish the fire, it ran out of air and collapsed. I can box and I keep my power tools for carpentry work so I’m ready.

    It's good to know that your son was able to see a real Fireman in action! He need our children to see their heroes in action, and to know that they have HERO in them too! B1!

    Madd respect to you sir! Seems like there is a great awakening happening around us! There is not going to be a release of power without a fight! Some don't realize that they are still slaves... Many ain't gonna make it! B1!

    i have a switch. It engages when stuations are lethal. I noticed it the first time I shot sum people in a shootout. I had to secure my partner who got hit wit a chopper bullet. I held off oncoming attackers by standing my ground and trusting the my crosshair. No scope.No beam. No thoughts. I felt possessed. You can say it was instincts. Like I said i noticed it that first time. I have ben in plenty of situations since then. Now i would say its more of a memory reflex.

    That would be a trade off from the nightmares i used to have. I couldnt believe i was in something like that when it happen.We carried my partner in the hospital bleeding out just like Menace to Society. But me and some others went to jail for giving false information.

    Hell yes, I used to leave my power tools at home but after seeing what happened to Armoud Arbery I bring my power tools everywhere we can settle the rest in court.

    Absolutely, on ALL questions! I was born into a military family. My Father & Uncles were military. ❤RIP❤ My husband is a Combat Marine, Special Ops, Weapons Instructor & Law Enforcement. What my Father & Uncles didn't teach me, my husband has & is.
    That's why I can say yes to all your questions & my adult children, eldest grandson & their friends have been trained as well. Knowledge to pass down for generations to come, finance & business ownership as well.

    I've had tools since age 18, my Father insisted, after moving out on my own. My youngest daughter purchased her first tool the day after being approached by a WS with a machete, here in TX.

    That’s right, I’m originally from the California myself, The Bay Area and even though most people are nice I know not to get to comfortable or complacent certain places like Argle, Bartonville I can feel the racist vibes.
