“…In the future, when you think about the use of lethal force, don’t just think about whether someone else says you can use lethal force. Think about whether or not you really should. Plan for a successful defensive brain use that is a positive tick mark for the entire pro-human population.”

Thank you for your sage and considered observations in regards to the 360° nature of self-defense.

That paragraph alone makes every cent I’ve ever spent and ever will spend as a PDN member an investment with handsome dividends.
Thank you.

A good gun and good gear were never intended to replace a calm spirit and good sense. Excellent decision.

You did the right thing (as if you didn’t know that already). I am confident that in Florida (where I am), you would not have been in the right to go, get armed, come back and “take care of business”. I believe that would have been viewed as substantially the same as entering a neighbors house, if you saw it broken into while they were not home.

Very good points made here. And rarely voiced. As a fairly recent (past few years) firearms owner, (I carried small arms in my Navy days, but that was long ago) , and concealed carrier, I found this very useful advice!

Great article with much wisdom and extremely good advice. I feel a tremendous responsibility in carrying a gun and those of us who do so, must continually train, have a measure of wisdom and common sense to help us avoid conflict.

Wait?…you live in Denver? So very many times over the years I’ve witnessed countless people, including/especially cops, get into trouble by rushing in. At the academy over 30 years ago they told us never never go in alone. Unless you have to. But there are techniques we can use to slow things down and gain a tactical advantage. But that doesnt prove your manhood or show to the boys you dont need back-up, you can handle this. Sometimes the most dangerous person on the scene is us. And thats how it should be but in a good way.

Mr. Pincus, I couldn’t agree more with the way you handled your situation. Why put yourself in a situation that could lead to injury or death to you or yours when calling the police is usually much safer. Take care and God bless.
