    I had a hard time deciding between no regrets and I don't relish the thought. I certainly do not look forward to it. I would much prefer living my life and never being put in a position to have to defend myself or my family. However, if it came down to my life or families lives, I do not think I would have any regrets in defending myself.

    While I know that I would defend life if required I don't relish the idea of taking someone else's.

    Don't relish the thought. I hope I never have to use my firearm or any weapon to take the life of another human. Having said that if put in the position to have to take the life of someone in my on defence, family member or innocent third party then at that point I will do what I have to with out regret.

    +1 on that HK4U

    I voted the same. I don't relish the thought but I would defend myself or my family if need be. I hope that day never comes. If it does come, then I will do what I have to do with out hesitation. I will not regret taking someones life who was trying to take mine or my families. They come first.

    Don't remember if I have done so or not but if I have not, let me welcome you from Texas.

    I've been trained from martial arts to firearms. hopefully I will never be in a situation where I would have to pull my firearm, I would rather use hands and feet, but if I had to do something like that to save myself or the lives of people that I love then I am ready to do what I have to do to keep them with me alive and well. would not have any regrets for saving a life from some one who could care less.
    You can have my freedom as soon as I'm done with it!!!
