A simple question for the members: If a stranger yielding a large object threatens you or your family what is your planned response?

Are we the same as the cops then??




Same question, but you are a cop. What would you do?

Hard to say. I have no training as a cop. No de-escalation training.

Maybe shoot him? Maybe not?



As an EMT I have a license to practice medicine. I cant go around flibbity jibbiting.


A lay person has no such licence. Barring using an axe to cut off a limb to control a bleed....they are not held to the same standard in court.



So ,I dont know.


People sure do seem to have a big appetite for killing.






What license is needed. If a deadly threat chooses to come to you or your family, maybe you will shoot or maybe not, you will probably decide based on the threat and will hopefully be granted time to exercise all possible actions. Probably not a good time for flibbity jibbiting.
