If you need to fend off domestic dogs, you don't need to carry an elephant gun.
I've already explained my position to you. I am not gonna repeat myself.

Yeah, I understand that, but I am not going to write off the possibility that such a situation could present itself. If it does, I will always try to take advantage of non-lethal means before lethal. I already know most circumstances when non-lethal shots would be possible, and when they would not. If I am ever in a situation where I need to use a gun to defend myself, I'll respond based on the options available to me. You may very well be right that non-lethal options aren't available most times, but when they are, what do I stand to lose by not taking someone's life?
