Break in on my home, and they will carry your ASS out in a body bag==no questions ask, their not innocent they are criminals. Innocent people knock first. Quoting: jamie1 It's not called breaking and entering if you're in the house. We covered this.... A guy with a gun could "knock" too... RE: Innocent people knock |

Quoting: Sneetch "That is a disturbing thought that Americans would actually think to use those objects of violence known as guns on an innocent individual who decides to break into their homes. Why would you do that?" [link to answers.yahoo.com] I would call it the typical Yahoo Answers troll but being that this person is a top contributor, I feel like there is a bit of seriousness there, besides the fact that people actually believe this.

THEY ARE FROM THE STREETS. They survive out there while most people are watching "cops and robbers" on TV. If they are in their right mind and there's a few of them or more then YOU ARE SCREWED! Period. |

MONSTER User ID: 2122560 United States 11/14/2012 12:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No "innocent" person would break in. I'm with you Trinity...anyone breaks into my house...they will be one dead mofo. Also my thoughts in a way. No "innocent" person is going to get by, breaking into peoples homes and stealing shit. They'd sooner be a beggar that could simply come to the door and ask for a can of food or something else. If someone brakes into your home they are not after food and conversation.

If they break into my house they are, by definition, dead! I believe anyone in my house without my permission is a threat to my life, and therefore a target.

Innocent? Is of course way less likely than intentional of pre planned robbery. Comes up once in a while of drunks finding their way into people home, or as they say later on by accident. If the intruder is appearing like a zombie it could be a stumbling frat kid drunk. Problem is- where's the margin to decide if it's really someone who broke in to harm you or not... Be safe and better safe than sorry drink at home or with "designated" friends. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 25773843 United States 11/14/2012 01:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yes, sometimes people get confused. Sometimes people just like you or me that have had one too many. I would think twice about pulling the trigger if there was no immediate danger to my family. Call the cops and continue with life. Or pull the trigger and wonder whose son or father or brother that you killed for the rest of your life. Not to mention all the investigations and problems you'll have for the next year or so. Oh, and then there's the family who will be looking to kill you. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26980506 Life isn't like the movies. You aren't the hero for killing. Control the situation. That's my personal opinion of course. There will be a lot of big-talkers on this thread, I can guarantee you that a VERY low percentage have ever taken a human beings life. I am curious as to what informs your opinion. Has your life experience included any real threat to your safety or life, or that of a loved one? Have your house ever been broken into by an intruder while you or a family member was present? Have you ever been raped in your home? Have you ever been awakened by an intruder as he was upon you doing violence? Have you ever experienced the very tactile feel of a gun muzzle against the side of your head, held by a home intruder? Have you ever crawled, having been raped and beaten to a bloody pulp, across your own floor in an effort to reach the maybe lifeless lumps that are your dogs? "... continue with life"? Are you serious? "...pull the trigger and wonder whose son or father or brother that you killed for the rest of your life." So, the effect of damage or death to me by an intruder on my loved ones is inconsequential? Instead, I should be worried about the criminal's loved ones, as He wastes MY life? "Not to mention all the investigations and problems you'll have for the next year or so. Oh, and then there's the family who will be looking to kill you." Better than my being the model for that white chalk outline on the floor. You are like the perfect, happy, masochistic victim, aren't you? Understand, this is MY life. Not your. Not the robber's. Not the rapists. Not the murderer's. MINE. No home intruder is ever innocent. Home intrusion is a CRIME. As are the other acts mentioned above crimes. So, your opinion is that innocent victims have no rights, and criminals have all the rights. If you, and those of your ilk, cannot get the above, then just shut up. Except for this, your opinion fits perfectly with the criminal mentality. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 23524705 United States 11/14/2012 01:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: Sneetch Also my thoughts in a way. No "innocent" person is going to get by, breaking into peoples homes and stealing shit. They'd sooner be a beggar that could simply come to the door and ask for a can of food or something else. These are all different situations. I think the point was do you shoot in every situation?? That was the question in my mind anyhow. I really don't want my 4 year old looking at some guys brains on the wall in a situation that I knew I could have handled in a different manner. If there's no choice then there's no choice. Of course there are. The problem is the fact people in their right minds don't just wander into someone's home unannounced, its like trespassing into guarded territory. Sure, the guards COULD let you go, but if you saw the warnings and proceeded anyways, they're going to be reasonably suspicious as to what the hell you're doing. Lets be honest here. A guy that is obviously drunk and falling in your door is really a threat to you? I'm not talking about ANY other situation but this....You would have him in your sights and shoot to kill? I will believe you guys. You guys are some hardcore mofos though. Just sayin. I couldn't shoot some helpless guy just for fun. I could shoot or stab the guy who kicks in my door though. Unless you are carrying at all times...You'll be fighting. I would concentrate more on that. And two or three guys and you're just fucked most likely. These are all different situations, and they all call for different reactions. I do carry a gun about 99% of the time, I also have 15+ years of karate and self-defense experience and training, and I know that I'm not a superbad-ass whatever, I may be skilled at somethings but I'm just a human like everyone else. I have had people break into my place, or otherwise trespass, and I did't shoot them. Its very difficult to say what anyone would do under these kinds of circumstances, but people who enter property with out invitation are asking for it. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 25773843 United States 11/14/2012 01:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is nothing but liberal socialist rhetoric for gun control. People who break the law are not "innocent". And this person knows nothing about crime. Police say DO NOT confront a burglar because he will likely kill you. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25559315 Sometimes you do not have the option to "do not confront." And, yes, obviously, pairing "innocent" with "people who break into your house" creates an oxymoron. |
