A Lesson in "Goblin" Eradication

Kim du Toit discusses home invasion by “goblins” in a post entitled “Resolve.” The catalyst for Kim’s post was the following email, posted by Kim, from a reader.

"My first instinct is to agree that all households should be armed; yet I have a question about it. If a goblin comes strolling into my home in the middle of the night and I come out of the bedroom loaded for such, isn’t it possible that I have created a distinctly more dangerous situation for me and my family if I don’t/won’t have the resolve to drop the scum bag? I mean, most good Americans like me have never shot anybody and I am concerned that I may get stage fright. Practicing at the range is fine for honing the technical aspect but what about the emotional end? If this is an issue, how do I prepare for it should the situation arise?"

As Kim says, it is “an excellent question.”

Kim provides an excellent answer.
