I shoot primarily for fun. That being said all of my practice and training has been focused on accuracy and always in the back of my mind I am seeing a human figure that needs to be stopped. After living alone in the middle of nowhere after I was widowed it dawned on me that there was no one else to depend on . My mindset became "if they don't belong here and they are a threat they are going to be shot". I would never shoot as a warning or to wound. If the situation is bad enough for me to be shooting the BG is dead. It didn't take me long to realize that although life is precious whatever needs to be done to protect the innocent is what I will do. If you can't look at it that way, you should not pick up the weapon, IMHO. Even now that I am remarried I don't expect anyone else to protect me. If there is a problem and hubby is home we will be shoulder to shoulder.
