Absolutely, Dave. I agree 100%. Apparently though, to some people, if someone pulls that gun, you're not allowed to defend your home or property. Maybe he'll just go away if I "nice" him enough.
Hmmm, well, the law says you can't use deadly force in this state to protect property except livestock. And no, the dog doesn't count. I guess you choose your path and I'll choose mine.
