Would you shoot to kill someone breaking into your home?

Or just let them rob you of your stuff?

@bigjohndl But yet you have bombing quite frequently there. I think I remember the Ariana Grande (sp?) concert recently. Plus all of the IRA bombings that took place along with the ISIS and Taliban.

So that is the "no expectation" from attack that is very low? LOL

I’d protect my family. I don’t give a crap about my stuff.

can’t you just break their kneecaps?

I wouldn't know how violent or non violent that person is and I wouldn't take my chances.
I'd shoot them, if I couldn't get to the gun I'd grab a knife or anything really. I have kids with me and I'm not risking getting any of us hurt, or even tied up and thrown somewhere. Fuck that.

just incapacitate them - taser them, or break their knee caps - that said they may have a gun themselves so if in self defense then yes i wud kill them!

I wouldn't want to but if they were armed and it was my life or theirs it wouldn't be that hard of a choice.

If I were to point a weapon at someone, I would shoot to kill. I would give them the chance to leave first.

The trigger pull on my pistol is pretty high, so probably just two to the chest.

@dunpender The same applies where I'm from. Hell even I you beat the guy up, he can lay a charge of assault against you!
bigjohndl · 70-79, M
@iMysteryI know I would never live where I could not protect myself or property without fear of being charged with assault. Does your government guarantee that you will be compensated the value of your stolen property for being a pacifist?

As they brake in they will encounter my shotgun. At that point they better run. If they are armed I have reason to believe they will kill me and my family. At that point if they don't retreat I will do what is neccicary to protect my family members.

I couldn't.. it's not in me to do so, and I put my trust in god to protect me as he promised to do

we do have gunns, but most are put away

@Deadcutie Would you please post your address here? Someone may want to pay you a visit. LOL

@bigjohndl 😲
Let them Rob me. My stuff is not worth their life.

@nonsensiclesnail so by pointing out pacifism in the face of a robbery in your home is bad for your health some how makes ME a rapist ? Lady the drugs you're woofing down might kill you too , I suggest you stop
@TexChik Does make you a lot paranoid and maybe a little weird.

you do know that that .008 number equals just over 11000 households. Eleven thousand. and most of the assailants don't have weapons.

Do you realize how much fear you have over something that is not likely to happen? Why not learn a form of hand to hand combat? That can't be taken away form you. No one can make you accidentally go off. You're kids aren't going to kill anyone with you.

Now I don't know about you but I don't want to kill anyone. That doesn't mean I'm a Pacifist.

@nonsensiclesnail it has happened to me , and I do know martial arts , which saved my life and my son's . The guy cane at me do fast I couldn't draw my weapon and fire. So I did what knew to do ... after knocking him down I did draw and before I could fire the police arrived . The guy was really big and it took everything I had to hurt him bad enough to drop him , but I hurt myself in the process and could not have fought him off again . Do you really think the media reports the true numbers of home Invasions rapes and murders ? No ... because then people will want to buy guns . It's your life lady

Have no material possessions to take, even if I did I couldn't care less about them but I will protect me and my dogs
Most likely, depends on situation.
