How I spent my afternoon.
Silly Brits.
Me: So what if someone breaks into your house, armed with a knife. Wouldn't you rather have the means to stop him from 15 feet away rather than getting into close combat with him?
Mitt Guy: Oh, God, no!
Me: You'd rather fight him hand-to-hand?
Mitt Guy: God, no! I'd rather be killed than kill someone.
Me (after picking up my jaw): You'd rather be killed than kill someone, even if that person is trying to kill you?
Mitt Guy: Oh, God, yes.
Me: OK.
Silly Brits.
