Agreed It's the couch's owner who is responsible for its actions and if their going to be lazy boy and not keep their furniture on a leash then they have to accept the consequences. Look at your history!! A bunch of Turks didn't control their footstools and the next thing you know, the Ottomans ran amok all over the middle east and it took WW I to finally put them into recline.I do.everything possible to.not hurt my or others companions and hope it never happens but if I have to shoot some couch to protect my own so be it. I can picture a hundred different scenarios in my mind and think how I will respond but until it happens it's all a guess how it will turn out if it ever comes to happen.
