The Difference Between Liberals, Conservatives, and Texans

Question:
You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small
children. Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes around
the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, raises the knife, and
charges. You are carrying a Glock .40 and you are an expert shot. You have
mere seconds before he reaches you and your family.
What do you do?

Liberal Answer:
Well, that's not enough information to answer the question! Does the man
look poor or oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire
him to attack? Could we run away? What does my wife think? What about the
kids? Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of
his hand? What does the law say about this situation? Does the Glock have an
appropriate safety built into it? Why am I carrying a loaded gun and what
kind of message does this send to society and my children? Is it possible
he'd be happy with just killing me? Does he definitely want to kill me or
would he just be content to wound me? If I were to grab his knees and hold
on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me? This is all so
confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for a few days to try to
come to a conclusion.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! click... (sounds of
reloading). Wife: "Sweetheart, he looks like he's still moving, what do you
kids think?" Son: "Mom's right Dad, I saw it too..." BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! click. Daughter: "Nice group, Daddy! Were
those the Winchester Silver Tips?"
