I have not needed to but would without hesitation to protect my family or own self.
I never point a weapon at a person in any other situation. Not even in jest. There are times when you just don't know that the gun is loaded. For example when I worked in gun sales. We had teenage boys who thought it was a cool prank to come into the shop and sneak bullets into the guns. We would periodically check all our weapons on the shelf for ammo and on occasion found some. You just never know.
On the other hand I have been threatened with a gun. It was a 22 rifle in the neighbor boys hands. Nothing came of it thankfully.
