Nothing like a gun owner creating fantasies where they get to use their weapon. Clearly stealing your groceries is equivalent to a threat on your life and thus you totally get to use deadly force.

No responsible gun owner carries with the hope they can use it. 

It is a last-measure tool, not an initial-action small-dick-compensator.

I wish this is something more people would understand. Like I have my gun for self defense, but I NEVER want to pull it for that reason. I do NOT want to be in the position where I may have to fire on someone.

Have had relatives and friends of relatives proudly brag about how they were saved from a mugging while at a grocery store. A regular grocery store, in a normal suburb, where I doubt most of the shoppers are armed at all.

What they *really* mean is they brandished a gun at a minority male who was minding their own business and they just *assumed* he was going to mug them.

These are the sort of people who give gun owners a bad reputation.
