Not quite sure why you're taking me to task about this,we're in agreement. I was replying to the Fiv3r who said:Too bad other users can't read the mind of the person posting!!! My point was that a BG will likely beat up the homeowner even with no logical reason to do so.
Check out the video, the thread is at https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/situational-awareness-or-don’t-sit-on-your-porch.850663/ in ST&T. 79-year-old kept saying "Get outta here" with nothing to back it up, alternating with "You're hurting me!", which, duh, was BG's intention, so BG just kept on keeping on.
My point to him was exactly what you said here, you can't know why someone is breaking in so you can't assume it's NOT to do bodily harm to you or your loved ones and to take appropriate action to remove the threat, either stated or implied, by using the gun with which he stipulated was indeed armed.If I am armed and they are content to just take my stuff, that's fine. I don't own a single thing that is so rare, so un-insurable, so priceless that is worth taking a life over. I don't want blood on my hands over my 4 year old xbox and my $500 TV.
