I wouldn't hesitate in bringing someone down either if they meant serious harm to me. And guns are a great responsibility. But from what I've seen, and I'm only assuming, if Kenya's anything like those places in south africa where the car dealer offers you the option of having side flame throwers installed under the car to thwart kidnappings, then maybe it's not such a bad idea to have a gun.
