perhaps you are taking this too seriously, with your 'what if a 100 lb hemiplegic saw a friendly dog running at him, and had to put the bitch down incase it jumped up on him' argument.
yes - perhaps an old man would get robbed, or a woman, or child or beat up, raped, etc etc etc - but at least they won't get shot.
i know what i'd prefer.
as for your wife - if she's a muslim and alone in the company of men - then the rape would be her fault
