You're walking down a deserted street with
your wife and two small children. Suddenly, a dangerous
looking man with a huge knife comes around the corner,
locks eyes with you, screams obscenities,
raises the knife, and charges. You
are carrying a Glock .40 and you are an expert shot. You
have mere seconds before he reaches
you and your family. What do you do?
Liberal Answer:
Well, that's not enough information to answer the
question! Does the man look poor or
oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that would
inspire him to attack? Could we run
away? What does my wife think? What about the kids? Could
I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife
out of his hand? What does the law
say about this situation? Does the Glock have an
appropriate safety built into it? Why am I
carrying a loaded gun and what kind of message does this
send to society and my children? Is it possible he'd be
happy with just killing me? Does he definitely want to
kill me or would he just be content to wound me? If I were
to grab his knees and hold on, could
my family get away while he was stabbing me? This is all
so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for
a few days to try to come to a conclusion.

Son: "Mom's right Dad, I saw it

Daughter: "Nice group, Daddy! Were
those the Winchester Silver Tips?"
