Right. But in a lot of states, there's a gun on the other side of that door. Toothbrush becomes a lot less of a panacea, then.

- BrandoElFollito 6y agoI am not sure how it works in the US: can you actively defend your house once someone is in it and you are not? What I means that there is a difference between a burglary where you are at home and defend yourself and your family (and accessorily - your belongings) -- and the case when you come back from vacation and find someone installed in your house for a few days.
- diogenescynic 6y agoExactly. My grandpa died and we came back to his house a few weeks later and people were already living in it. Took over a year and a lot of energy and money to get these people out and by then they'd already stripped the house of anything of value and removed the copper from the walls and destroyed everything else in spite. If we had just stormed in guns blazing--we would have been the aggressors in the eyes of the law. Unfortunately, it seems like the laws in California protect the elites and criminals, but not normal/middle/working class people just trying to get by. You're free to shoot heroin on the steps of City Hall in SF, but god forbid you park for 20 minutes at a 15 minute meter.
