why not just surrender everything?

if somebody broke into my place, i'd call the cops and then just sit and wait for them. there is nothing i would defend with my life, except for another human being. i think the chances are slim to none that a burglar would try to harm you if you stayed out of their way.

This could go in another thread, but this is one thing I really disagree with. A LOT if not everyone is going to call me stupid, but I get pissed when someon [censored] with something that I worked for, or that is mine. I dont care if it is an inanimate object or not, but I would defend my things, money, cars, jewelery, etc even as far as to kill someone who tried to take them. They are mine, I value my stuff over the life of some douchebag criminal. If I had a situation where someone was messing with my car, or in my apartment, I wouldnt hesitate to silently pull a trigger killing them.

i'll bite. would you kill someone over $5? $100? $1000? what's the cutoff? i'd like an exact number here.

I dont think there is an exact number, its a situational thing. I have never had someone break into my house, but if it did happen, Id have no hesitation in taking my gun out and shooting them, that is what it is there for. If you do not go hunting, there should be no reason to own one imo. I dont care if they are trying to steal bread for their poor family, if they are in my house, and I do not know them, they get shot. I did actually catch someone breaking into my car, Im sitting on my front porch smoking a spliff, and two kids walk down the street and start going through my wrangler. About 20 yards away. The didnt see us until we snuck up on them. My buddy punched one in the back of the head, and I grabbed the other, they were like 13 though and just douchebags, so we put them in my car and drove them to their parents house, rather than call the cops, and explained what happened to their parents. It depends on the split second decision, but im going to err on pulling the trigger if someone is in my house, and err on not pulling if its my car etc. Having someone break into my place specifically is going to note planning and premeditation due to what I hvae going on business wise.

Plus if someone is in your house it is legal to shoot them, otherwise its not. If someone is trying to mug me, Im not giving [censored] up w/o a fight. Stupid, yes, but I never claimed to be smart.
