Defending your home can only mean killing someone. There's literally no other option. I can't shout at them from another room, hide and call the police, threaten them to leave with a weapon, or fire some kind of warning shot. The only option is to kill someone and end a human life and condemn their entire being to oblivion.
threaten them to leave with a weapon, or fire some kind of warning shot
Playing devils advocate so say this is exactly what you're not supposed to do if you have a gun. There's before a gun is introduced to a situation and after. Once a gun is introduced you're either using it or it's going to be used against you.
Cops wont come for an hour or more so you're left hoping the guy in your house is only looking for some stuff to take. Any rational burglar will just wait till you leave to remove "homeowner with gun" from the equation. If they're breaking it when you're at home, they're probably not in a super rational state.
Completely valid points. I was just trying to list things that could be done other than killing someone if they try to take your Darth Vader Funko Pop. There are so many other options but I probably thought of more violent ones since violence is the entire premise of their generally suburban murder fantasies to kill "thugs" (black people). Like they could just go out of a window and leave if it's on the first floor.
I'm also made deeply uncomfortable over how gun nuts seem to be just waiting for the opportunity to murder.
That being said, I don't agree with having to retreat and be really nice to the guy who broke into your home. I don't like anti-self defense laws at all. We're not talking about stealing Snickers from Walgreens. Home invasions are deeply traumatic events.
Even in communist countries you'd get your ass beat for breaking onto someone's home. I'm more than willing to shrug my shoulders and ask "what did you expect" if you break into a home and get your shit rocked.
I don't necessarily disagree with you but I do want to point out that warning shots are illegal, and for good reason. Bullets travel until they hit something, so you better want to blow up whatever you're shooting at.

Yes, I'm pro-life why do you ask?

Human life is valuable but that’s MY television
In these United States of America, a life without treats is no life at all.
never in my life.
