If someone breaks into my home while I am in it, are they there to rob me, kill me or my family, kidnap someone? I have no way of knowing what their intentions are. I do know that they were not deterred by the lock on the door or window they breached to get in, failed to be dissuaded by the alarm claxon going off, are not terribly concerned about going to prison and view criminal laws as guidelines, rather than rules. I view it as imprudent to allow them the latitude to do as they wish after breaking into my residence. This being the case, it is not likely that both of us will walk out of the house.

They don't deserve to die for stealing, or threating to steal stuff, which is what you guys are saying the people who wish to exercise their Right to defend themselves intend. I deserve to be secure in my home, and worked hard to be in a position where I would be.


The right of a criminal to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness ends at the threshold of my front door. They forfeit those rights the second they break into my house. This is not because I fancy myself to be a judge. It is because I am a US citizen.
