You are perpetuating that danger. Now the would-be thief knows you will attack him if you see him, so he has to be ready to shoot you. By powertrippig and "protecting" your home, you are making a banal situation more dangerous for everyone, including yourself.
If you didn't have a gun you might do the more logical thing. Calm the intruder down, and run away.
- JoeAltmaier 7y agoAnd giving in to intruders isn't training them to fearlessly rob? Don't understand how removing any impediment to stealing, can help the situation. Its hard for some to imagine standing up for themselves. They fantasize about retreat; rational conversations with thieves; happy outcomes when one has already broken all social constraints. Finally, by definition, an intruder who's shot on sight isn't going to know, later, that you're going to shoot them. They'll not be robbing anybody, later.
