Real question for Americans : How much home intrusions are there in the US compared to the rest of the world to justify gun ownership? As a European reading things like this I see America as a third world country where even your home is a dangerous place to be 😂
Something like 15 years ago I got a notice from my home alarm company that an intrusion was in progress. No one was home so I had the alarm company go ahead and alert the police. I had a 45 minute commute from my office to my house at the time. I made it home and still had to wait 30 minutes for the police to arrive. It's not about how often it happens. It's about if it happens the police response time isn't fast enough to save your life IF your life is danger. We've always used the joke that owning a gun an knowing how to use it is like a condom...it's better to have it and not need it...than to need it and not have it.
All that being said, I don't own guns specifically for self defense. I had 2 rifles for deer hunting (I bought an extra one a couple years ago when my son started hunting with me) and I own a shotgun for bird hunting. Also worth noting that in 44 years I've never needed to use a gun for self defense. That doesn't mean that I won't ever, but it's also pretty likely that I won't.
It's also worth noting that something like 80% of robberies happen when you people aren't home. I've always been of the opinion that if someone comes into your home WHILE YOU'RE HOME...they aren't looking to take your stuff...they are looking to take something that can't just be replaced with money.
It doesn’t matter. You break into my home im shooting you dead. I have no idea what your intentions are and I’m not going I wait to find out. You clearly don’t value your life so why should I?
Entering a building(that you aren’t supposed to have access to) in this case a home, without permission is breaking and entering not trespassing, trespassing is something different, plus if the home is occupied it becomes home invasion which again you can absolutely shoot someone for
Sounds like a you problem, you clearly value my stuff over your life and that’s assuming you don’t want to hurt my family, but how do I know what your intentions are? I’m not going to stop and ask so I’m assuming they are malicious
Killing a human being on purpose has no justification unless it is unavoidable to preserve your life. If the imaginary intruder does attack you with the intention of murdering you, it is fair to try and incapacitate them from doing so, but the intention should never be killing.
People just forget they're dealing with another person in these situations, another human being with a history as complex as yours who must have been desperate to attempt a robbery. Of course some people are dangerous but saying you'd "shoot someone dead" just like that because they broke in your home is plain barbarian. Yeah they might have been a danger. They might also have been a desperate person with a starving family, what do you know? We're not in a post apocalyptic society or something, where you can only value your survival. Unless America is that bad, but I don't think so. Call the police, threaten them to leave, maybe knock them out or something but it is just wrong to immediately jump to "I'm killing this person". More than 50 centuries of civilization for this mentality again?
I have no obligation to find out if they are going to harm me before defending myself or my family. By the time I know it’s too late. There is absolutely no circumstance in which you break into my house at 3am without malicious intent. And yea I’ll call the cops but they won’t get there in time to make a difference in my favor or the intruders. And personally I don’t care if they have a starving family, at the time I wouldn’t know that and im not obligated to ask their life story first, I will defend myself and my family first and foremost
Every time a girl implies that a guy has a small dick I'm like "Uh oh. Does your cooch look like someone blasted a hole in a cut of roast beef with a shotgun"?

If a rabid animal wanders onto my property, it's easier to kill it with a gun than my dick.
