Didn't expect a response? Gun usage/ownership/possession is one of those hot topics like religion and politics! <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Probably because it involves those two at some point!

You've done the only thing most people ask of others: try something and see if you like it. You know guns exist, you know how they are used, and you know your limitations. The fact that you have acknowledge that you may have to use a gun after your husband has been incapacitated. I think this alone shows that you are intelligent enough to realize the world is a dangerous place, and bad things can happen. Living in a utopian mindset will only get you killed. Doesn't matter whether you choose to use the gun or not. Just the fact that you've gotten the facts and made your own informed decision, shows that you're using the best weapon you control. If you don't know what that is, please, step away from the firearm.
