No, I'm trying to explain to various people who live inside various bubbles exactly what might happen to them if they unjustly apply lethal force to one of the millions of Americans who, like me, legally carry concealed. If Peruta is upheld, that will soon cover 90% of the US population (subtract California and Hawaii to get what it is today).
What could be stupid about it? I carry a .45 ACP M1911 almost every time I walk out the door, and if someone is trying to unjustly kill me (and I never give anyone a reason for that to be just), it shouldn't be difficult to guess what my response might be. Less evident is how we'd each be treated by the legal system afterwords, so I included a bit on that.
I very much don't want to have to shoot or unintentionally kill anyone, so I don't think such educational efforts are pointless (well, in this direct case it was, seeing as the corespondent hails from Spain, and I strongly suspect I didn't increase his motivation to visit the US, but...).
