To nnickle - You're missing the whole point. I don't break into peoples' homes. I don't steal, I don't go around shooting people, nor break any other laws. But when someone breaks into a home, that homeowner should have every right to protect themselves. Case in point: the unfortunate family in Indianapolis (family of seven) who were all killed in an apparent burglary attempt. No family should ever have to go through that. The point is you never know what a person is going to do who is breaking into your home. It may be just to rob you, or it may be much, much worse. It is also very unlikely that the police will be able to respond in time to come to your aid in such an event. The choice is always in your own hands. Hopefully you will never have to experience such an event. I just prefer to keep my family safe and not play any guessing game with their lives.
