do you believe that using lethal force to protect property is ok?
When an armed party has broken into a home, knowing residents are present, only a fool would assume that only personal property is at risk. There's a fundamental difference in home invasion from, say, breaking into an unoccupied vehicle.
- ux-app 10y ago> only a fool would assume that only personal property is at risk this is a classic example of emotion clouding better judgement. A more rational approach would be to look at the data: - In 2010, there were an estimated 2,159,878 burglaries [1] - In 2013 there were 94 murders associated with burglary This is a 0.00435% chance that you will be killed in the course of a burglary. I'm sure this number will go down dramatically as long as you don't grab a gun ;) [1] https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2010/crime-in-the-u.s.-2010/property-crime/burglarymain https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2010/crime-in-the-u.s.-...
