"and you should be able to instantly recognize if using lethal force is warranted. Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. You don't jeopardize your safety or ability to respond effectively by simply positively identifying the target. If you think that, please get some training"

Would be interested in list of specific times you think (or you instructor(s) think lethal force is warranted?. What exactly do you think a threat looks like? Like some have said, everyone has a different living situation. Am not law enforcement official on the job, but speaking as homeowner. Gee, if you see your wife sneaking back into the house at night and shoot her, guess what?

Would ask a law enforcement official, but am of opinion even a no knock warrant entails them identifying them selves as law enforcement coming through the door. Firefighters enter houses on fire, yea that fits a self defense scenario.

The example of the 8 year old down syndrome child doesn't even warrant an answer.

Am thinking all of us need some common sense.

Am not of the opinion an "unarmed" individual can not be a threat, as the tv commentators would like to indoctrinate the public to believe.
