Since when is it fun to get shot?

I think you're looking at the problem from the wrong angle. Of
course it's not fun to get shot. However getting the snot kicked out
of you by a burglar who has weight and reach on you when you're
handicapped and in a wheelchair is no fun either -- which is why I
showed him my firearm (a Colt m1911a1 .45) and indicated that his
life was in peril should he take one more step toward me. He decided
to be elsewhere very fast! (Prob had to go home and change his
skivvies.) No shots fired, no ome got the snot kicked out of him.

A friend of mine--a guy I've known since I was a little kid--had one
tough row to hoe when he took a firearm to the guy who broke into his
garage.

In the grand scheme of things, what it cost him was not worth the
possessions that he saved.

Some people claim they'll 'shoot to kill' if need be. They're also
looking at the problem from the wrong angle: If need be, I will SHOOT
TO LIVE. After all, keeping me (and/or mine) alive is the whole
purpose of a defensive firearm, is it not?

If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will
scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will
refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something
which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he
will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is
explained in this way. - Bertrand Russell
