You raise some good points indeed, and I agree. It's not about stuff for me, it's about my life and that of others I'm responsible for. People who do such things, break-ins and home invasions, generally are not the types to have a conscience; if they did, they would not break the law in the first place. I would have no hesitation in responding to any and all threats that present themselves in my home or to my person, or someone with me, if I am outside of it. I am not the victim type.
