Lou Dobbs poll about deadly force

what i can't believe is that 770 people voted no, aparently a good number of those people must be anti social individuals with no desire for living. Buti have a feeling if any of those individuals were to be put in a situation of a home invasion i'm sure they'd have a change of heart afterwards, if they'd be aive afterwards.
 
I think Cornman may have struck on a point, if somewhat obliquely: is the poll asking about using deadly force to defend life, or just property?

I doubt anyone here would argue against the former. The latter makes for a very good debate, though.
 
So of makes you wonder how that 6% would react if faces with an armed robber. Prolly pee
 
Oh,oh.
cornman may be related to Vector I.The song sounds the same.
We know how reliable the police are.
Another cliche"when seconds count the police are only minutes away",cornman.
And if its an HDTV 60" just bought for the bowl games and Super Bowl, the answer is definitely YES.(sarcasm mode now being slowly turned off)
 
i believe the poll stated ENTITLED... it's an option.. whether you pull trigger is up to each of us... just last spring i had a young guy from my neighborhood say to me he wouldn't come to my house to try anything because he knows i have guns.. all i said was "yes i do"...........
 
Cornman

Either he has been drinking to much corn mash, or he lives in the sticks. Note the # of posts (6). Either that or he is an anti- infiltrator here to sew discontent. Obviously he missed the part in CCW class where it says you can use lethal force to protect you, your family, or those in close proximety (that counts as next door).
I am my brothers keeper!
 
To be perfectly honest, I wasn't sure how to answer this. Doesn't mention anything about the burglar being armed.

Guess I'm a troll too...

Legally, I'm not allowed to use deadly physical force to prevent a burglar or property...then again, I do live in NY.
 
Bad compound question...anyway, I voted yes.

Protection of the neighbor's home is dicey. You have to consider the fact that you could be wrong about your assessment of the situation. At the end of the day, it's still a human life we're talking about. A reasonable, but mistaken, assessment isn't good enough when we're talking about deadly force. You must be absolutely correct, not just reasonably correct. For example, a furniture mover in a hooded sweatshirt carrying a TV from your neighbor's place doesn't deserve a bullet center mass. The DA will prosecute you vigorously if you make such a mistake.

By the way, I interpreted the term "home" to mean more than just property; it also includes individuals dwelling therein. That is debatable of course.

Cornman, a gun in the hand is better than a LEO on the phone. Wait until you get shot, your wife raped in front of you and your daughter gets taught sex, or your govt drags you out of the house and does the same. A fear of guns indicates an emotional and sexual immaturity. Sigmund Freud.
 
I think burglars should be shot if for no other reason than to discourage others from doing it. It ain't about the property.
 
And the yes's have it by a HUGE margin. I wonder who is voting no? I dont think they are American. Or if they live in the US they need to leave haha. :)
Yes 94% 12540
No 6% 839
 
What scares me is that the type of person who would not use deadly force to protect property, would not use it to protect liberty and freedom.


"Don't resist, or you might get hurt!"
"Property isn't worth fighting for, just give them what they want!"
"Get down on your knees and hope they don't kill us!"

Do you have a link or something to back up that "fact"?
 
When posting links to polls, uncheck the "Automatically parse links in text" checkbox under miscellaneous options.

When you click on a link here and are taken directly there, they know that you've come from a gun forum, and will easily discount those votes as biased.
 
Do you believe Americans are entitled to use deadly force to protect their homes and the homes of their neighbors from burglars?
Yes 94% 13764
No 6% 930
Total Votes: 14694
