Not really. Guy walks into your house. There is threat, there is danger. I'm not going to argue this. You have a weapon that could take his life in an instant. He must realise this, if not talk to him until you can make an understanding. Sure, if he smashes through the door with an axe and runs at you screaming, then yes, take the nessiassry action, but you're talking murder. Killing a man with no intent other then he just came in. Maybe he was the new neighbour who saw an open door? You have no idea the moments in his life, the people that know or love him. You don't even know their name yet you are so quick to end him completly and fully.Darkside360 said:It's simple human instinct. You don't get much time in situations like that. Make the wrong choice and it could be your last. Thats really how it is.
You were either brought up in such a crazed environment with brain-washing to imagine that everyone must be bad and there is no option other than violence, or you are just cruel, jaded and evil to want this.
And why a gun? Like so many other people have said, dogs and security works so much better. Having a gun for protection is so overblown and paranoid. It has achieved nothing but countless deaths. My family went to America for a while (without me) and they took homes stories of roadrage ending in someone getting out there car and killing another man. And another story of the same detail. People don't need guns! There is no war going on down the road. There is no perverbial murderer that stalks your family. You are safe. As soon as the American government finally cracks down on arms the better you people will be.
