Altruism: Taking others interests into account whilebeing concerned for ones own interests as well.
Consider your safety while taking into account how your
actions will effect the safety of others.▪ Self: without proper training and familiarity with the weapon, the
defender will be more likely to hurt him or herself
▪ family and neighbors. Bullets travel great distances and some canpenetrate walls, inadvertently wounding or killing an innocent on
the other side. Children particularly are inquisitive and mayfind/play with an improperly stored weapon.
▪ Assailant: although a .22 caliber can kill a .50 caliber would be highlyexcessive for a home. The ideal is to stop the assailant with as littleharm as possible while preserving the lives of all.

Gun ownership is not appropriate in certainsituations. The ideal gun owner lives alone,
or with people he or she trusts completely toact responsibly while there is a weapon in thehouse.
As the number of roommates, familymembers and/or visitors increases, so doesthe risk of injury to others from misuse orunintentional misfire

If you live in an apartment complex: The risk of injury to another is high, as you have people living above, below,
left and right of your apartment. The risk of having someone burglarize your home is very low, especially in
situations where security is provided by the building owners.
If you live in your own house: The most appropriate place to own a weapon is in your own home, as there
are less people concentrated in the area around your home. Crime Rate
There may be a higher crime rate in your area, suggesting that owning a gun isnecessary, though you need to assess the risk of injury to an innocent personwho may be in the next room or building. If there is typically a low rate of crime in your area, the need to own a firearm is diminished.
You need to use your own judgment (or ask for a second opinion if youfeel uncomfortable) to determine whether owning a weapon isappropriate in your specific living situation. Remember that you are heldaccountable for your bullet if you miss your target.

LONG BARRELED NEGATIVES
Not a weapon of choice forself defense situations
Too long and too bulky toquickly deploy andmaneuver in confinedenvironments
Designed to produce long,accurate shots May pose a threat to innocent
people from over penetrationor excessive range
POSITIVES TO RIFLES
Better stopping power
Strong visual deterrent Greater accuracy than a
handgun Recoil will be tolerable and
manageable with preferred
urban defense rounds .223 Remington
.357 Magnum
.44 Magnum

Pump action shotguns vs. autoloaders
Pump action operation tends to be mechanically reliable even underthe worst adverse conditions
Best choice for home defense Can be stored or carried in safe condition
Magazine loaded, chamber empty, safety on, hammer down
Pump can be brought to bear on an assailant very quickly
No sound in the world is identifiable or as intimidating as the
rhythmic “click-click” of a pump action shotgun being racked

Using a firearm in self defense requires thatthe “bad guy” gets hurt or dead in the worstcase scenario.
Can you take a life? Can you take awaysomeone's child, someone's parent,someone's chance for redemption and
forgiveness, the chance to change the courseof ones life? This is the requirement foreffective defense with a firearm.
This requires physical and mental training.
