This is true, Sock, but it is supposition that because I said a firearm is a deadly weapon, that it kills, that I would keep shooting at a person that was incapacitated. Put in that light, you're exactly right. Put in the light in which I was speaking, then....you wouldn;t be right.

In every case, a bad guy's widow, children, etc will be brought in when it suits them. It sure beats the good guy's widow being in those shoes though, now doesn't it?

Please re-read the posts and keep in check any speculative scenarios.

I stand by the meaning of deadly weapon. Its sole purpose is to kill. Know it and know where you stand before using it. Save your life and the lives of other innocent persons and worry about the lawyers later. If your life, your very existence, your very right to protect and provide for your family, is threatened, then defend it, with every and any means possible.
