    So, that's why open carry gives me pause...

    I understand where you're coming from. I personally see the 2nd Amendment right and open carry differently. I see a citizen's right to bear arms and open carry as part and parcel of the American experience. I see them as a birthright of American Citizenship. Is open carry fraught with danger? Those fears, real or imagined play a part in the minds of many people. I don't discount that. Can those fears and pause be allayed easily? Probably not.

    People need to learn to restrain from shooting if they are just in fear of being harmed just pulling out is scary enough for someone to stop assaulting you. Killing someone will be on the conscience forever.

    Killing another person should always be as a last resort and only when there is an imminent threat of death.

    Yea, thats what I was trying to say. If someone is whooping your butt that a reason to stand your ground? I don't think thats a reason to kill someone but many do.

    I don’t think that’s a reason to kill someone, but many do
    Hey dear sister, I agree with you. Do you think there is any reason for a professing Christian to kill someone (in self-defense or otherwise)?

    Killing a person should always be as a last resort
    Hey bro. Are you saying this merely from the perspective of the laws of our land? If so, i get it. But if you are speaking as a born again saint, I would be surprised. Just wanted clarification.

    Love ya’ll!

    I don't feel comfortable answering that question on a public website where people are watching It would be cool if we can discuss this somewhere else like on another forum that's private.

    Thank you for your question: As a born again Christian I don't own any firearms. I don't plan to buy any firearms and I would never use a firearm. I would never kill another human being even in self defense. Having said that, I recognize that my fellow Americans have the right to bear arm and in many states the right to open carry. Speaking from a strictly legal point of view I recognize that self defense is a legal defense. I further stress that lethal force should always be reserved as a last resort when all other options have been exhausted. It's in this legal context that my comments should be taken.

    I appreciate the honesty here because I agree with you, though I just think the laws should be changed!
