203. No They might as well shoot themselves
as come into someones home and fail to follow orders issued at gunpoint. I posted earlier a rational approach to this. I have a pretty good threat assessment "radar". I am not going to pop the drunk kid for walking into my house.

I have no urge to harm someone over property. However a person in my home after dark who ignored two barking/biting dogs, a fence, an alarm system, a locked door, flood lights, and the little voice in their head that said "this is really dumb" is not there for property.

That is a rational state of mind. So they will be met at shotgunpoint with a flashlight in their face.

They will then decide the outcome of the encounter by their actions.
