I would suggest that you not carry a weapon at all then. More than one person has gone to jail after using a weapon to defend themselves or their loved ones. You draw your weapon and shoot and your opinion of whether it was justifiable will not matter. An officer, judge, jury, etc. will make that call.
Not sure if you are married, but suppose you were in a defense situation and you knew ahead of time that if you chose to shoot your attacker you would go to jail and that if you chose not to shoot you would be knocked unconscious and your wife would be raped by the attacker. Given this foreknowledge, would you really choose not to shoot?
As for me, I would shoot. If one of us has to deal with 400lb of horny, I'd rather it be me than my wife...
"Advocating to break FEDERAL laws in an OC forum where many LEOs frequent"
Not sure who you are talking about here. I certainly have never advocated breaking the law. I did say that I had broken laws in the past (specifically jaywalking), however I've been extremely careful to comply with ALL firearm related laws and encourage others to do likewise. All I said is that most people do not have absolutes it these things and instead evaluate the situation and risks before deciding on a course of action.
