Would you shoot someone who was stealing stuff from your house?

I would give them 1 chance to leave...especially if they are in my kid's room.

Yeah, probably not a good idea to shoot/kill someone in your kid's room if

Probably not a good idea to break into my house and be in my kid's room

I understand completely. I just wonder what would traumatize my kid more....

right, there is more to shooting someone beyond whether you can or not.

Who's to say that stealing is the only thing on an intruder's mind?

Without question.

Without question you kill someone because they were stealing from you?

Without question I would shoot an intruder in my home.

A state with friendly gun laws.

CrackerJack

Depends on the state. Some require that an immediate threat to your safety

I had a situation a few weeks ago where I pulled my gun on an intruder

I hope never to be in such a situation.

I was listening to a Sheriff talk about this on a radio show a few years ago

imfear2000

That's incorrect. CA PC 198.5 specifically defines it a reasonable fear

cheezedawg

7/18/16 12:42pm

I should add that by law (also in 198.5) an intruder in your house is presumed

I think there's a huge difference between finding someone in your garage
