Which is my point - if a robber didnt think you would have a gun, he wouldnt have a gun - and if he robbed you no one dies at least.

If a robber breaks into your house now, one of you is probably gonna get shot.
I understand this was directed towards someone else, but I'd like to address the points as well.

1 - It's that or buying venison from a slaughter house. I'd take a shotgun blast to the face over having my throat slit any day, hunting is kinder to the animal then buying your meat through a middle-man.

Furthermore, there is no torture involved with hunting, you kill a deer for food and sport, you kill rodents because they're pests and you kill aggressive animals (rabid dogs, mean dogs, bears, etc.) to protect yourself. If you have any moral objections to eating meat, then that's for a different thread. Although noone really cares anyways it turns out.

2 - Yes.

You're damn right he's going to get shot. You don't break into peoples homes, especially if they have the means to defend themselves.
