	Scenario #3

	Like John Wayne, you kick down the door!!  Gun blazing, you nail
	three - four - five - six times!!  He falls with a sicking thud.
	You slowly, cautiously, advance on the bleeding corpse.  Groping
	for the lights, you finally find them.  "He" is your son.
	Congradulations, chum, you just blew away your son.  Pretty good
	shot with that thing, now you wanna try for your head?

For the responsible gun owner, this is not a reasonable (i.e., impossi-
ble) scenario.  John Wayne's portrayals are pure fiction.  A responsible
gun owner doesn't shoot at anything until he is absolutely sure of what
he's shooting at.  This applies to hunting (don't shoot your hunting
partner), the target range (don't shoot at anything but your own target
in your own sights), or an intruder in your home.
