What kind of portable flashlight are you using? 😱

I don't know, I would assume there's cases where using a gun to protect yourself in a burglary situation may be sensible, if your life is in danger, on the other hand I think it could also escalate the situation and put you in much more danger than hiding or even just yelling at burglars may have done. Seems like a difficult situation, hard to judge, but I'm not sure going into it with the intent or even the desire to kill is necessarily conducive to the best decision making.
I mean I don't think normal burglars should be killed, that seems excessive, but then you don't know if they don't want to hurt your as well.

in ddm's scenario (someone downstairs rummaging in the dark), literally any flashlight would work. pupils dilate to see in the dark, which is why even a moderately bright light is temporarily blinding. can't believe I have to explain this to adults

DDM's scenerio is crap though.
If its so dark, how is the looter even able to rummage valuables over garbage? 😈

ddm presented the scenario as an excuse for killing via shooting them (in the dark).
like this guy did: www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/01/12/ohio-father-fatally-shoots-suspected-intruder-who-turned-out-to-be-his-teen-son
also: why the buffoonery? was I making too much sense?

If someone breaks into a house knowing that people are inside, do you think it's reasonable to assume they'll run if you yell at them?
Originally posted by Artolthis is what it comes down to. you dont know WHY this person broke into your home. all you know is that they DID.
, but then you don't know if they don't want to hurt your as well.
maybe they just want to steal a couple things that they can sell for drug money, or maybe they're a murderous psychopath who has every intent of killing you and your family. you dont know.
i'm not willing to take that risk. becoming a victim isnt my cup of tea. but hey, if some of the people here would rather sit down with the invader and have a "come to god" talk with them, thats their prerogative. there are always sheep.👆

Why?
Cause there's like 1 million burglaries in the US but only like 100 homicides in home burglaries, so just statistically it seems like the overwhelming case.
It's a huge step to go from "I'll steal some shit to I'm gonna kill whoever lives in that house", as well.
Like I said, I don't necessarily blame a person who is scared and thinks shooting is the best option, but I'm not sure they are even right, I think shooting probably makes it much more likely that you actually get killed during a home invasion (or that you kill someone you are mistaking for a burglar).

Your numbers are way off https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/ascii/vdhb.txt
An estimated 3.7 million household burglaries occurred each
year on average from 2003 to 2007. In about 28% of these
burglaries, a household member was present during the burglary.
In 7% of all household burglaries, a household member
experienced some form of violent victimization
IOW, 1 of 4 cases of burglary when someone is at home involves "some form of violent victimization"

i would jump from the top of the stairs, bro. from the TOP right onto that motherf*cker, and then...did you ever see that last fight scene in "roadhouse" starring partick swayze? that, bro. i would do literally THAT. rip his throat right the f*ck out! then i'd fed-ex it in a box to his whore mother. RAAAAAAAAARRRRRRR!!!!! *flexes*

Okay, Uncle Iroh. 😄

Why are you considering lying to police? The only type of person that would lie about being scared for their life - due to a robber (not burglar) being in their home - is a psychopath. Everyone else would legit be scared for their life and they are justified in shooting the f*cker in all states except Vermont and Washington DC.
But wait! There's more!
You want to try and paint me and others as a violent murderers who would shoot first and ask questions latter.
YES! KILL THE BASTARDS! It's not hard to understand.
haermm
I can't say yes enough to this. You think I'm upset that you think I'm a violent murderer because I'd shoot a home invader and ask questions later? Okay! 🙂

Can you respond in a mature way?
