I have thought about this.
and I have never been put in the position of actually firing. I have been in the position of holding a person for the police.
...Would I feel bad? That is a tough question as the answer can be either way depending on the circumstance. I would feel bad if I had to shoot someone who was drunk or high and not fully in his right mind.
But, I honestly don't know how I would feel if confronted by true evil, the kind of evil espoused by Manson and his ilk. If I walked in on them during an evil deed, would I feel any remorse? I don't know. If I could stop true evil during the course of events. If I could go back in time and kill Hitler before he rose to power, would that make me feel bad or good? I think, intellectualy, I would not have a problem with it, but emotionally, it may scar my psyche a bit.
Hopefully, I shall never be put into the position to find out.
