Be prepared to absorb the emotional impact of taking a human life willingly or intentionally.
Yep, I have guns around me for self defense/home invasion, even in a vehicle sometimes. And, I convince myself that I would use a weapon for a valid reason. But, there could be a downside to actually doing it.

Got a close buddy who did his duty in the late 60"s in you know where. He walked in some deep DooDoo for a year, killed some folks, etc, etc, etc. Will not talk to me about specifics. He still attends shrink sessions at the VA to overcome the fallout. Veterans of WW2 who were intimately involved in killing will not talk to a civilian about it either. Justified or not, there is damage.

Not saying don't defend your home/property. Butting popping somebody apparently has a price tag.
