Don't confuse what I've said. The weapon isn't going to give you a better chance of responding, better awareness will. The weapon betters your chances of surviving if something happens.

I've taken martial arts as well, but why should I jump in to risk getting stabbed or beat when I can shoot first and save someones life?

If someone is going to attempt to use deadly force against me, no court in texas will EVER convict me of manslaughter.
Also, the way I shoot, I'm not worried about the criminals odds.

You cannot defend your family outside of the guidelines of the law. He WAS guilty of a crime, and was charged and sentenced as such. He could have legally used a bat, or knife, or crossbow, or pepperspray, or tazer, or whatever. He had a gun, and that was illegal.

wow, its absolutely terrifying to believe that you think its legal to outlaw defending your home. Taking the knife to a gunfight comes to mind. Also, a Ball Bat against a gun? What you're advocating is a defenseless populace at the mercy of criminals. does that make sense to you?

Why should I be forced to turn my home in to a prison? There is absolutely no good reason to force law abiding americans to become prisoners of society because YOU want to disarm them.
