So, someone pulls a gun on you, we don't know what the next action will be, do you wait to find out.........
If I know it's a real firearm and I'm within a distance that I believe that I may be legal and justified and the person has the physical and mental capacity to cause me death or grave bodily.
Then yes, I would very well would defend myself using a firearm.
That doesn't necessarily mean I would intend to kill them.
There are many things you could do with a firearm that doesn't end up with someone being killed.
The problem is out in public, you may will be labeled and branded as a vigilante for such an incident.
In my home, without a doubt or a second thought, if again it wasn't some young kid with possibly a fake gun.
I have to live by my actions and there is no way right or wrong, I would rather pause that extra moment to ensure I'm making the right decision vs acting too quickly and killing someone against my own moral code.
Just because someone says I can use deadly force, doesn't mean I won't decide for myself .
I would rather choose to risk my life in the next couple of seconds, to ensure I can live with my actions.
