I agree with everything except maiming someone
That will end up with you in jail or tied up in court with legal fees up the ass. At that point basically your life is ruined more often than not.
In all the firearm training classes I’ve been in the instructor always said… if you are willing to seriously injure someone to protect yourself or loved ones, then be willing to kill them. Never shoot to maim or injure, gotta kill them. In the end it’s easier to come back from that and not go down for it.
Now I’m not telling y’all crazy nikkas to go kill somebody. But if it’s a me or them situation, it’s gonna be them 100% of the time.
