I carry a concealed weapon almost daily. I have never had to use it, and hope I never do. But, if a situation came about where I needed to protect myself, or my family, I don't think I would have any hesitation in taking the other persons life. I have no idea if/how it would affect me. Before I even took my CCW class, I had to be sure that if i ever pulled my weapon, I would be able to use it. I am positive that I could, in a life or death situation. How it would affect me after, I can't say. If it was a justified killing, I think I'd be fine.
