Do you agree with the law that states if someone breaks into your home, and does not threaten your person or anyone else in the home then you can do no bodly harm to the intruder?

Nope, I don't agree. I think we should be allowed to shoot the intruder and put his head over the door as a warning to would-be intruders, indeed that's why I'd always keep a loaded ak-47 by my bed, if I could buy one and could shoot it

yeah, i think i would have to agree with everyone on this one. i wouldn't just sit there and let someone walk in my home. Isn't that what I have a fiance for? lol! Hey df this goes with your other post uses for the cain. I think I would have to wack them with it if I had nothing else, or if your not home to take care of it! lol!

I don't know, I vote both ways, I suppose that if the intruder doesn't hurt you, you can't really fairly hurt them, but they have no right to break in, and I would hit them anyway, so he...

Well, I don't agree with that law either, it's stupid, I mean to me, if someone breaks in to your home for whatever reason, he is just asking for it. People who break in to homes, and tresspass looking for stuff to steal are just too lazy to work. I don't work, and if i did, I'd agree working is no fun, having a boss would be murder, but it beats robberyany day of the week, and if you commit a crime and go to prison, you have another kind of boss, a prison warden, and from movies I've seen, they can be even meaner than a work boss.

Lets consider this. Would you give your attacker warning before delivering the cu de gra? I had an incident where thinking I was at the corner of a street instructed my guide dog Samson to turn right. That fateful turn landed me right nside someone's garage. I also was on a date once where my date dropped me off at the wrong house. Not realizing it, I walked right up the walk and into an unlocked door. Finally last but not least, in Texas a chinese torist who spoke no english, and was armed with only a camera stroled up the walk of a texan who instructed him to stop. That torist was only looking for directions. Not understanding what words were coming from the Texan's mouth he continued up the walk. the Texan told him to cease and desist two more times before raising his shotgun and killing the Chinese torist. Upon that reflection I ask again If the person is unarmed when breaking and entering, by the way this means that the person could be already in your home when you get there or your already there, and despite the fact that you might have left the door unlocked. Do you think this law was setup to protect the guilty?

How was the Chinese tourists going to ask for directions if he spoke no English, and in the middle of Texas?
Of course you would give a wrning, you'd ask what the person was doing there, if you got no explanation tell them to get out,, and my understanding of the original email was that you had convinced yourself it was someone stealing, so what happens if there is a guy inside walking away with your stereo, that type of thing is what I was thinking about when you opened the discussion. Of course it's a tricky situation but seriously if I am faced with someone who is taking my possessions away, that I worked very hard to obtain I would have no sympathy for that person and I'd do whatever needs to be done to prevent that theft to take place, if it implied some form of violence, even if I disagree with use of it in any way under other circumstances, that's what I would do.
