If I or my loved ones are in danger and I have a gun, yes, I will use it. If I have the chance, I will not kill them because I am not the murderous type, but it depends on the situation!!!! When we are in immediate danger, we don't think, we only think about protecting our life or that of someone else, it's instinct.
If possible, I will shoot them in the leg or otherwise neutralize the attack. And yes, I will accept the consequences of my actions.
Nice entry! Yes, absolutely, it's really like an automatic response when you see your loved one being assaulted, you tend to automatically help and stop the immediate threat.
1st level of self-defense, neutralize the attack. Next, If the attacker continues, neutralize the attacker without inflicting serious injury if possible. This is what I learned from my sensei back then
I believe you, my friend... But if your life is in danger, someone wants to strangle you, beat you, then you only think about one thing, defense and it doesn't matter what it costs. If there is no other code, shot, knife, object with which to hit.
