No, its not impossible...theres like a .02 percent chance i'm going to misinterpret a situation as roughhousing. You're assuming that here in texas all we do is walk around looking for a reason to shoot someone. Nothing could be further from the truth, however, common sense SHOULD tell anyone that 99% of us who are armed will seriously evaluate a situation BEFORE we pull our gun.

I'll bet you $5 that between now and when you duie, you will never have anyone break into your house.

And i'll have not lost anything either way, having the gun or not having the gun. It's like wearing a seat belt. I COULD have an accident even though im wearing it, but if im not wearing and i'm in an accident.....
