LOL, so if some kids break into your place to steal some beer ("unlawful entry and committed a crime") you'll just gun 'em down right? Gimme a break..................I'm moving to Canada

I think wotblake was defending the choice of a .357 revolver for EDC, not necessarily for home defense.
My firearm of choice for home defense is rifle. A shotgun would be a good second choice in certain limited circumstances. Neither of those is very appropriate for EDC.
. Thanks for the bit of humor at a time when things were gettin' a little too serious in here!:sick2: LOL....way loud!Well, it's getting to be summertime, so I have to strip down my EDC to what I can comfortably carry in shorts and a tee-shirt.
1. Gun
2. Knife
3. CB Radio
4. Flashlight
5. Keys
:laughing:

So what DOES everyone carry their essential gear in?

Ok... so in your scenario, you know exactly why the kids have broken into your home? How did you get the information that these are innocent school children who have simply lost their way and only want some beer, rather than knife/gun carrying gang members who will do anything to avoid being sent back to prison? If they are in my house, in the middle of the night, they had better listen VERY closely to my instructions.LOL, so if some kids break into your place to steal some beer ("unlawful entry and committed a crime") you'll just gun 'em down right?

We all are legally and ethically obligated to find every possible solution out of a violent encounter before we can escalate to use of the gun.
"Even to the point of getting beaten up and humiliated, if it doesn't rise to the standard of grievous bodily harm or crippling injury, we just have to take it. That's the standard nationwide, CNN reports to the contrary.
I'm sorry to go off track but that is the stupidest thing I've heard in a LONG TIME!

So are you supposed to get bruised or wait until his closed fist becomes a pointed finger and you lose an eye?!?
If you think an attacker is only going to bruise you a little, then you are an absolute moron. Once a physical attack begins, ANYTHING can happen. I remember seeing a fist fight that suddenly escalated when one person pulled a knife and stabbed the other.
Unless you're a mind reader, you have NO IDEA what your attacker plans to do. You don't know if he wants to give you a fat lip or poke your eyes out. Use whatever force necessary to protect yourself.
If you use a gun in a fistfight, you will go to jail. For a long time. Unless and until your attacker crosses the line from ordinary force to DEADLY FORCE (force likely to cause death or great bodily harm), you are not justified in using deadly force yourself.
You can't shoot your attacker because of what you think he "might" do. Sometime, ask a police officer about the "Use of Force Continuum".
