Reply #50: Real Easy, Don't Break in.. [View All]

[Pavulon]

Someone in my home after dark has justified lethal force. Many posters here are jabbering on about "stop, freeze," under stress people may not have the opportunity to give a burglar orders. Your only burden is to identify what you are firing on. (not the drunk neighbor kid)..

I will NOT hide in my home. I will not back myself into a closet with no doors.

I will issue a verbal warning, a person on the other side will see a flashlight, if they don't comply or run to the door/window they are going to get shot.

The law requires a person to be in fear for their life. That can happen in a parking garage or in my home.

I would NOT shoot someone stealing my car in front of my home, I would confront them, but not shoot them, unless they reached for a weapon or tried to close distance.

Common sense applies here.
