Yeah, I've seen that. Great scene.
I was thinking more of situations where someone might physically attack you up
close, rather than someone attacking you with a gun. Also, as it has been
stated, there are laws about carrying guns and using them in public.
I've often thought that shooting someone seems a little excessive for things,
even if someone is breaking into your house.. My natural inclination would be
to try to just give them a good scare so they'd stop and go away, or at least
restrain them until police etc. arrive. If someone tries to get in a fight
with you, pick your pocket, or even break into your home, does that really mean
they deserve to be shot?
