The Netherlands is going in that direction too. There were a couple of armed robberies of jewelry stores where the owner shot and killed the robbers. The store owners were not prosecuted for killing the robbers which caused outrage amongst some ethnic minorities. The world upside down. This time I agree with Repubrocrat, a shotgun blast to the face really helps people understand they should not rob your store.
If anyone wants to avoid being shot by me, all they have to do is avoid committing a robbery (or worse) on my property. I am not going to feel guilty about shooting someone who's breaking and entering my property, especially while I'm actually THERE, for pete's sake. Sheeze.
A friend of mine, or actually his parents owned a jewelry store. According to him they kept their beloved German sheperd under the counter. That's what he told me. Who knows. Next time i see him i'm going to inquire more.

I've been home twice when there was breaking and entering happening. (2 different locations.) Both times, the burgler didn't know anyone was home. The first time, I left and called police from a safe distance. Not a big deal. The second time, it turned out to be a kid who ran as soon as he realized there was someone home. I didn't even have to say "boo".
There's no reason to go shooting people up, most of the time. And again, a taser would do the job if you had to immobilize someone.

You know what I fund so disturbing about people saying things like that? You people always talk to the real victims and wave your finger in the faces of the real victims saying that the victims had no right to ..... (fill in the blanks with anything that the victims are not allowed to). But I never hear you people talking to criminals. Telling criminals that they have no right commit crimes and victimize others.

just saying, it's not necessary to shoot people up, in many instances. I never said "doesn't have the right", etc. Just said it's avoidable. The criminals are in jail, they already got the message about what they don't have the right to do.

Ruth is a big Left Wing Liberal, and they always stand up for the "human rights" of criminals. These people believe that people commit crimes because of racism, poverty, lack of opportunities, so it is not really their fault criminals are essentially "victims" of the system.
I think any rational person would not want to kill another human being but a lot of home invaders are armed themselves and often on drugs.
Some smaller calibers like .22 or a .38 are not the best choices for home defense because they may not stop the home invader and the last thing you want is someone armed or high on drugs fighting back.
Opinions vary but I prefer a .45 or 9mm for home defense.

You're putting words in my mouth, and you're wrong. You have no idea what my beliefs are.
Were you going to address the point that tasing people is just as effective in deterring them, as shooting to kill? You were advocating shooting to kill. I'm waiting to see how you can defend that. And I'm sure I'm not the only one here, waiting.
Wouldn't a shotgun blast to the leg achieve the same thing? Hard to run away with your foot or leg shot up. Or what about a taser? That would keep them immobilized until police arrive.
