A statement that Assemblywoman and Congressional candidate Michele Fiore made in an interview with Politics NOW’s Steve Sebelius is at the center of a growing controversy.
"I would never, ever point my firearm at anyone, including an officer of the law, unless they pointed their firearm at me. Now, once you point your firearm at me, I'm sorry, then it becomes self-defense,” she said on Politics NOW last month. “Whether you're a stranger, a bad guy, or an officer, and you point your gun at me, and you're going to shoot me, and I have to decide whether it's my life or your life, well, I choose my life." |

She's right, of course.
I've been the victim of badge toting criminals more than once, in one case a felonious assault, but I've never shot any of them, for the simple reason that none of them ever threatened to shoot me. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them. — Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States; With a Preliminary Review of the Constitutional History of the Colonies and States before the Adoption of the Constitution [Boston, 1833]. |
