umm...if he's dead then the threat's stopped, right?
you never tell anyone you shot to kill, that means you intended to kill him and makes you look guilty. you shoot to stop the threat.
I've never understood this thing about "shoot to kill" vs "shoot to injur"
How about I shoot his chest and not give a shit what happens? If he lives, good for him. If he dies, that's cool too. It's not like I'm aiming for the chest and making some kind of a choice whether he lives or dies.

It's basically something that'll get you tripped up in court. Your intent is to stop the threat - whether he lives or dies is not relevant to that decision. It's a little odd, but spend some time with lawyers and you'll understand.![]()
You're troubles aren't gone with the bad guy being dead - they're just beginning. You now have to go to court and defend yourself in a legal setting.
Well, you're close, but not quite.
In Canada AFAIK you are supposed to:
1) Avoid the conflict, ie hide in a locked room
2) If they confront you in that room, you can use appropriate force to defend yourself. For example, if you are 6'5" and 260lb and the burglar is 5'5" and 145lb, unarmed, and you beat him to death with a bat... that's murder. But if there's 3 guys with knives and you beat them all to hell with the bat and one or two "accidentally" die, that's fine. If you keep beating the guy after they are all incapacitated.. murder.
Although to your point about guns.. I suppose you're right. It's a very legal gray area about what's appropriate force to defend yourself. Three guys with bats, you have a gun, you shoot and kill all 3. Was that appropriate force? Who knows.... you'll find out in court.
I live in America where I'm scared that everyone's going to break into my house and rape my family (like we're something so special), so I make sure I have a gun on me at all times.

Have you also thrown away any fire extinguishers and ripped the 9 and 1 buttons off of your phone? Only the fearful need to be able to put out a fire or call the police, right?

I would shoot for sure, and shoot to kill, but I'd shoot for the center mass, not the head. I don't want to f'ing miss

How are those shells performing for u? Opinions I've seen so far are mixed... Mind commenting?
I've only heard positive reviews myself. I like them a lot. I took them out to a buddy's farm and we had some fun with a couple boxes of them. Basically they pattern a lot like regular 9 pellet 00 buck loads, but that .65 caliber marble offers more penetration/stopping power than 3 more 00 buck pellets. I haven't tested shells at range (30+ yards), but I would assume that large marble increases your range as well. I will do some tests on this and comment later.
is it just me or does that shell look short? anyways i have 3" 00 bucks in my shotgun, so 12 .33 pellets come out
Well, i will be getting my first rifle soon.
