I know its cool to get all "Clint Eastwood" about it.....but you better make damn sure that you have absolutely no other recourse to save your life before you pull the trigger....that includes walking away from a situation instead of escalating it...or you'll end up being Bubba's Butt Buddy or the next 20 to life.
Not saying the dirtbag purse snatcher doesn't deserve it......but is it really worth it for a fishing rod, or a plug bag.

Great point. If you shoot and kill an unarmed person (especially one with no violent criminal history), it's gonna be tough to justify self defense. Spending years in jail away from your family would be much worse than losing some fishing gear.
Even if you were able to stay out of jail, would you be able to live knowing that you took someone else's life over some replaceable stuff?
