If you owned a gun and somebody broke into your home, would you use it?

The person wouldn't be armed. Just shocked to the fact that somebody was home.

Not if he left. If he came closer than I was comfortable with, yes. He's already broken the rules.

@Mamapolo2016 You'd let them to just leave?
@Dan193 Sure. Apprehending criminals is not my job. Protecting my family is.

@Mamapolo2016 I see.
@Dan193 Why should I have to deal with the guilt of having to shoot someone when they are the ones who made bad choices? If he's not armed and doesn't push me into a corner, I wouldn't shoot.

I'd call the police and let them handle it. Most of my life I've lived with guns and I never had occasion to aim one at somebody. Came close to that twice. I'd like to die with the no-shoot record intact.

@Mamapolo2016 Makes sense.
