Yeah, well, possibly. Maybe they only wanted Steve's money, and wouldn't have hurt him, or his wife.

There were four of them. If all they wanted was my money, they could've gotten it from me without the use of weapons. I can handle myself in a tough situation, but four people are gonna' kick
anybody's ass.
Seeing as they were displaying weapons, the only conclusion I could reach (because I'm not a fucking idiot) is that they intended to use them...

No. That's because I'm not stupid. Charging a gun with a knife strikes me as eminently stupid.

Criminals aren't always the most colorful crayons in the box.
That doesn't make them any less dangerous...

If you say so. You all agree that shooting someone in the leg is impossible, then?

No one here has said it's impossible.
It's stupid, but it's not impossible...

You had me on ignore because of your delicate stomach. I said I believe a warning shot is enough to deter unarmed assailants, address that, not the metaphor.

The concept of a "warning shot" has been addressed, ad nauseum. So far, I see only one person here defending the use of it, and that person, admittedly, is the one with the least experience with firearms...

Any physician will tell you that physiological responses vary from individual to individual. Maybe I just take longer than most people to emotionally process situations.

"Emotionally process"?
Believe me when I say that comes about two or three days
after you fire your weapon...

I've admitted no such thing. I don't know any adult who has never found himself or herself in a life-threatening situation. You may, of course, call bullshit.
|
I don't think that's unusual. Most people are fortunate enough to live their entire lives without ever being in a life-threatening situation.
But it does happen and, when it does, someone who wants to protect themself should be in a position to do so...

I'm trying to learn, but so far all I'm learning is fancy new insults.

I don't believe I've insulted you, yet you continue to be resistant to the opinions of those who have far more experience with guns than you do. If you wish to remain blissfully ignorant to the topic, that's fine.
Just say so...
