Has anyone here who owns a gun and uses it for protection considered that if someone were to break into your home and you actually fired the gun that you would be held accountable for that persons injuries or even death. Its just not worth it.
Actually, in most states, you wouldn't. the use of anything (gun, knife, crowbar, baseball bat, hands etc) in a defensive manner is 100% legal. Some states, like the one I'm in, even protect you from being sued for medical and/or funeral costs.
