I could have died. Or William Shatner could have saved me. I prefer the second hypothetical.

Again you speak on behalf of the dead? I'll tell you what, if you can locate written doctuments by any of the founding fathers about gun training in school, I'll eat my hat. Until then, this is meaningless rhetoric.

Can your wife work a taser or pepper spray?
