Hold on to your horses , Sir , and stop imagining me as Mother Teresa or someone like her .
The only thing I care about is myself . If the assailant is incapacitated , instead of dead , lesser charges will be piled against me by the Police . Lesser the charges , easier for me to obtain bail . That's about it .

That's heart warming to know . You are my favorite Georgian now ; well right after the Georgian girl on my Facebook .
Vikram wrote:In the face of danger, especially in a situation where your life is at risk, the mind experiences a severe shock and the rush of adrenalin so renders one that fight or flight or freeze are the most possible reflexes. If one is capable of showing such clarity and charity as you two espouse for the welfare of one's assailants in such a situation, I am not sure if one would be lucky enough to survive.
First of all , as I already mentioned I am not running any welfare scheme for the assailants .
Secondly , I keep mentioning incapacitating the assailant over and over again , which you guys keep missing over and over again . Maybe I should type in bolder and bigger fonts .
Thirdly , an unarmed assailant with his knee blown off , writhing in pain , bleeding on my floor and me standing unharmed with a gun in my hand pointed at the assailant , I am pretty sure , I have a better chance of survival .
Vikram wrote:What would one do when a mob suddenly enters your residence?
Scare , then incapacitate , and kill if absolutely necessary .
Vikram wrote:Can you actually make these rational calculations other than doing what needs to be done to protect yourself?
Yes . I can do both actually at the same time . If I can't , I better start doing so .
Vikram wrote:1. When you are facing a mob of over a dozen, how practical is it to offer warning shots or aim for the legs?
So , you are implying , if a mob is intruding into my property , and I fire a warning shot , they will not be intimidated and think of retreating ? Are you suggesting that even after blowing someone's knee off , he still going to come at me ?
Seen too many zombie movies , have we ?
Vikram wrote:2. What if they rush you construing that you lack the will to cut them down should they not desist from continuing their attack?
I want to see a person "rush" at me with his knees blown off . I will it will be worth the risk .

How in the world did you come up with this conclusion ? I guess , when I read about cache of illegal arms and ammo being seized by Police , every now and then , they were to be used for bringing in gold for India in the Olympics .
Vikram wrote:So, should one only use these items to defend oneself?
If you don't have a gun on you , knife is your next best option .
Vikram wrote:Cannot one single blow with a stout stick kill a human?
Yes

Security guards ? No .
Another Update : The senior officer of the Property dealer has been arrested . He applied for bail , which was rejected .
