Question: You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and kids. Suddenly, a man with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, raises the knife, and charges. You are carrying a .357 Magnum Revolver and you are a good shot.  You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family.

What do you do?
 

Liberal's Answer:

Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!  What does the law say about this situation? Does the man look poor or oppressed?  Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack? Could
we run away? What does my wife think? What about the kids?  Could I  possibly swing the gun like a club and knock  the knife out of his hand? 

Why am I carrying a loaded gun in the first place  and what kind of message does this send to society and my children? Is it  possible he'd be happy with just killing me?  Does he definitely want to kill me or would  he just be content to wound me? If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me?  This is all so  confusing! I need to discuss this with some friends for a few days to try  to come to a conclusion.
