Four Rules of Gun Safety.

 

1. The gun is always loaded. (Always treat a gun as if it is loaded.)

 

2. Never point the gun at anything you do not want to destroy.

 

3. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire.

 

4. Be sure of your target and what's behind it.

Excellent Martial Artist.

Having family that has been and is currently in Law Enforcement, I cannot stress these points enough. Always Remember rule #1. Be safe

Never store the gun and ammo in the same place.its a bad idea.if someone breaks in your house and finds it or a kid finds it your in a world of trouble

if your going die,why not die doing what you love

I agree, but I would keep a little bit of ammo around (probably hidden) just in case you had to get it in the gun in case of an emergency.

Depends on the state, and its laws.

For the most part, if an armed intruder (weapon type matters not) breaks into your house, and you believe your life, or that of the others in your house, are in danger, then it's OK to shoot the intruder. If the intruder is unarmed, but still poses a danger, then you can still shoot him. This includes those under the influence of drugs, etc.

A few states actually claim that you must make every attempt to retreat from your own house, first, though.

Ok well that brings up an interesting point. What if some kind of karate guy breaks into my place. Are his hands considered lethal weapons?

Let's say I know he's a black belt cause he's dressed that way or he looks asian or something. Then would it be ok for me to shoot him?

I am not martially trained but want to get into it. He might be able to get a few good swings on me god forbid.

I'm in Wisconsin. just outside janesville. I know a couple guys on the force i could probably ask too. thanks.

Check with the local police as to the laws concerning lethal force, self defense, and guns in your state. They can answer you questions.
