Of course, that's the point isn't it?Opinions vary.
Now, if I personally caught a rapist in the act?
I'd have no problem showing him the penetrating power of my piece...

And as a follow up, I don't care what the law says, and I know da-mned well that I'm posting this on a public forum, if that was my wife or daughter, I would take the law into my own hands period, and sleep well at night in a cell. The Sheriff is 100% correct, the animals that our so-called justice system keeps releasing onto the streets have become a plague upon the honest that have to live with them. When will a judge be held accountable as an accomplice to rape or homicide for releasing a chunk of human excrement like this back into society? Please, some liberal, civic minded individual with social leaning tendencies step up and just try to defend this type of scum being released back again and again to prey on our people, and dont hand me that "our jails are full" and the money is needed elsewhere crap. It takes a village my arse. Sorry folks, had to rant.
No strictly speaking vengeance is not justice. Sometimes both are accomplished at the same time though. If somebody rapes and terrorizes another human being they deserve whatever comes their way including death imo. If criminal types knew that this was the likely outcome of their crime they would be much less likely to commit it.
Nope.
Studies (and this is from a friend who did some of them,interviews of prisoners) show that when bad guys commit crimes of violence,the last thing they are thinking of is the repercussions of their actions
He's a heck of a sheriff. I'd love to have a few like him in Oregon!!!
Actually you're correct. They don't really think about the severity of the consequences of their actions. Studies DO show however that they do think about the "likelyhood" of being caught. If the person they are assaulting has a handgun then it's much more likely they will get caught. And if a much larger percentage of the population was armed criminals would know that they would be much less likely to get away with it. That's my take anyway.Nope.

Realism: We do not have a justice system. We have a legal system. One that protects the well to do and politically connected and leaves the average Joe in jail with Billy Bob.
Our Sheriff in Columbia County, Jeff Dickerson, recently said; "I was asked how a person could deter crime in the absence of more patrols. My response was that people should invest in home security items, make sure they know the serial numbers of the valuables and, if someone was threatening their lives, a shotgun loaded with .00-buckshot is a good deterrent. I also said that in the rural areas of Columbia County, guns are a way of life, and that most people know how to defend themselves from those who would threaten them."
For those who favor vigilante justice, pray that you never get falsely accused of a crime. I've personally investigated crimes where the accused suspect looked like a slam-dunk, only to later clear him using DNA, and / or the "victim" admits lying. To those who claim they would gladly spend time in prison for revenge killing, does that hold true if the person is later found to be innocent? Have you ever spent time in prison?

And that was exactly the nature of our talk last night. I did not want to get into details in my post, but that's what I meant when I said "a long road ahead of her". She is today was where I was 10 years ago. First time I see a small ray, a sliver of hope.Now to the civilian 75. Just because your wife is more tolerant of guns, doesn't mean she would be ready to carry any time soon. (as you probably know) A person has to remember that by shooting someone the may take a life.Yeah spin it as 'stopping the threat' but it most likely will be 'stopping a heart'. If you or your wife will have a problem with this,then she should not carry a gun.
