Sure - but I thought you might be interested in the other threads too.

Personally I wouldn't be able to kill another human being in self defense. Not only because its wrong to kill but because I'm just not capable of killing someone (or an animal) - so I'd probably rather die myself instead of taking another life.

.

I understand where your coming from, Aloka. And sorry, I had thought maybe you were suggesting the question was invalid because of the other threads.

But what if you have a child who is being attacked? What if you were a School Teacher in Africa, teaching one of the many tribes that are being systematically murdered simply because they exist? Would you let a few rogue soldiers come into your school, and just take/rape/kill the children under your care, when say, under your desk you have a .45 a family member or Husband may have given you? Would it not be 'bad Kamma' in fact, to not act when you could have?
