If it meant protecting me or my family, I would do whatever it took. My husband feels the same way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-shoot-and-kill-someone#post-55157 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 08:01:44 +0000 Grace 55157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I'd never have a gun in the house, so it wouldn't be an option (and it's illegal in Canada). I do think I'd hit someone over the head with my big cast iron frying pan if there was a threat though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-shoot-and-kill-someone#post-55148 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 07:13:29 +0000 Beyond2 55148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If we were at risk, with out a doubt I'd shoot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-shoot-and-kill-someone#post-55126 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 23:58:10 +0000 cyneswith 55126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At the moment, no.

Having never touched a gun, I couldn't do it. I would find other ways, like a knife or something, if it came down to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-shoot-and-kill-someone#post-54941 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 19:30:11 +0000 MegWag 54941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband and I were talking about this in relation to the death penalty (which they don't have in the UK anymore).<br /> We was saying that while he could imagine killing someone in the instance of an intruder breaks in and is coming at me with a weapon, he couldn't imagine wanting someone put to death (after the fact) for killing me.<br /> I think it's an interesting distinction. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-shoot-and-kill-someone#post-54928 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 19:14:41 +0000 googly-eyes 54928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have never been in this situation but I'm 99% sure I could and would. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-shoot-and-kill-someone#post-54926 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 19:13:02 +0000 Andrea 54926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never even held a gun but I would answer yes - if I had a gun and someone was threatening my family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-shoot-and-kill-someone#post-54906 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 18:40:58 +0000 lola2011 54906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hell yes.

I would do anything to protect myself or children. </p>
