Very interesting thread. Most of the concerns, solutions, attitudes, and coping strategies are understandable ... we ultimately need to be comfortable with our decisions.
For me it is absolutely prudent to plan ahead, take precautions, be aware, be vigilant. If push comes to shove, property is not life and not worth defending with your life... especially if you are unsure of your ability to contain the situation. How I defend my country, rights, and freedom is an obligation compulsory depending on the cause and events.
However, if I should perceive a threat of injury or experience an attack from any individual upon my family, myself, or innocent victims, I intend to use all measures available to eliminate the threat without hesitation or mercy. It's how I have rationalized my priorities and how I intend to act ... admittedly, we never know how we respond to danger until tested. I've witnessed attacks without reason or mercy. You can never assume an armed or menacing criminal doesn't intend to harm you or worse.
