Just my opion right or wrong

[308ME]

Just my opinion. I keep hearing about some low life @%$ breaking into peoples homes and home owner defends his or her family and kill the stupid $#% ass. Then some bleeding heart from the local TV station gets on and says how sad it is that little johnny or what every the fools name was got shot and died, and then the family of the fool gets time to tell what a good person the fool was and how its such a tragedy and the home owner should be prosecuted for his or her actions yet the fool has a rap sheet as long as your leg and is carrying a gun of some kind what was his real intention know body knows because the home owner did just what the founders of the country intended a person to do if there home was invaded defended their domain and protect themselfs. 

Break into my home and you'll be lucky to get out with only 5 holes in you. As for the rest of the underlying issue here everyone need to remember that guns do not kill people, people kill people just like a drunk in a car kills people no difference. People die at the hands of other people every day the tool that dose the killing is up to the person be it either a car, club or gun the item used is harmless without a person controlling it. Outlawing guns is not the answer if you outlaw guns then only outlaws will have them.  Figuring out how to keep guns out of the hands of outlaws is. :gun:

I agree.  All the people who are saying that their stuff isnt worth someones life should post their address.  The criminals would be better off going there than my house.

If it is to you, that is your choice but my TV is not worth the legal and emotion battles I will face if I shoot someone for reasons other than being in imminent danger.

I agree with Bob. I'd be really curious to know if you all would really be interested in shooting and killing someone over a TV. If you or yours are threatened, that's a different story. Some of you make it sound like its not a big deal to take the life of another human  being. Can't help but wonder if threads like this aren't started as a form of c___ measuring contest.

Now flame away.

How do "we" know that when they bust the door down , that all they want is the tv?not taking that Chance!

[Turner89]

Yea. Not gonna take the word of a dumb ass I catch in my house. ( On what his intentions are)

[Jingles]

Have said it before and will say it again that's what the 2 handguns picked up off the streets back east are for the SOB that came into my house was armed and showed a gun and I don't give a rats Butt what his intentions were Police found a loaded 38 in his possession

So you'll plant a gun on the guy?

  If someone has broken through a locked door to get into my place, my assumption is that they are there to harm.  They may have wanted a TV, but do they want to leave someone that can identify them?  Likely not, so they are probably going to want to kill you.

Now flame away.

No flaming necessary, Jackelope.  I can agree and disagree alike in the same post.  Sure my t.v. or anything inanimate in my house isn't worth another soul.  I get it.  On the other side, maybe that person will keep breaking into houses until they themselves kill someone.  Who knows?  Maybe I'm saving someone's life in the future.  I'm closer to the category of "I'd rather be tried by nine, then carried by six."

Maybe you are right, Jackelope, "Can't help but wonder if threads like this aren't started as a form of c___ measuring contest. "

Sometimes it is a way of feeling manly.  For me it's just a matter of fact.  What happens, happens.  I can honestly say I won't loose any sleep at night if it's just me.  That damage has already be done.  The way I see it, if something bad happens, they killed themselves when they broke into my house.  What makes me think twice now are kids.  I couldn't sleep now knowing my kids might be very upset with seeing something no three year old should see.  If you would have caught me when I was single, there would have been no question.  Now, I would give someone the selective chance to leave my house.

I will say, to those that think they are tough stuff, you never know how you will react.  It doesn't matter how much practice or training you have had.  It's never a natural item and you will think about it.

I remember freezing once.  Everything happened in slow motion and I froze from the second I heard two RPG's fired to the second they hit the concrete wall behind me.  I thought for sure I was dead and didn't move an inch.  I wish to this day I had reacted.  I always wondered if those two guys, who got away, killed another American later on.  I can honestly say I never froze again after that. 

Just some food for thought for those who say they will instantly pull the trigger without a shadow of a doubt.  Unless you have been there, it's not natural, and you might or might not be happy with yourself afterwards.

Definitely not something I would post on a public forum. In the tragic event that something like this happened to you some day, every aspect of your life will be under scrutiny by the law or the bad guys attorney. Imagine the deflated feeling you'd have...
