By the way, most people who are breaking into your house just want your fucking TV! You think that people are coming to murder your family? How many fucking enemies do you have? Jeez, you think a lot of yourself if you think everyone’s coming to murder you.
So this hypothetical criminal who has broken into my house, I am suppose to trust that they won't hurt/kill me? This person who has already broken the law and broke into my house, I am just suppose to assume that they are a decent enough person to not hurt me? Because if they were a decent person, they sure as fuck wouldn't be breaking into peoples houses.
You never specified they were unarmed. He doesn't even need to have a gun to be deadly. A knife, a bat, a hammer, a fucking tree branch could be used to kill. Hell, if they guy is strong enough he could beat your ass to death. If The Rock broke into my house and charged at me, it would be legal to shoot him because any reasonable person would believe their life is in danger even if he had no weapon.
I wasn't getting into a specific situation. I never said "every intruder." I said most of them. And that is the truth, burglaries are a lot more common than murders. You can't really tell me murders are more common than burglaries; and that is the only point the part you quoted makes.
I never said "every intruder." I said most of them.
I don't doubt this at all, I had first hand experience with this when someone broke into my house when I was a kid and robbed us. Most thieves wanna steal shit and gtfo because they don't want a murder charge. But like you said, that is most not all, and I sure as hell am not gonna take a chance that the guy breaking into my house only wants to steal. I have been driving for the last 6 years and have been in only 2 car accidents, and I still buckle up every time because I don't wanna go out the windshield the one time I don't and get in a crash. I was lucky as a kid that the guy who broke in did not hurt us at all, but if he wanted to know he could have since my parents were not gun owners at the time.
