In reply to the discussion: Use of deadly force to protect property [View all]montanto
(2,966 posts)the idea of deadly force to protect property is a tough one. I don't really rely on any of my "stuff" for a living. If someone breaks into my car in the driveway, sets off the alarm, I'll call the cops. If I hear someone in my garage (below my bedroom, but I would have to go outside to get to it) I think I would let the situation run its course, though maybe I would investigate. Questionable behavior on my part here in SoCal. If someone broke into my house at night, I would have to assume that they were desperate and capable of anything, even though their intent might only be my TV and stereo. So there is the question for me: Is it my TV, or might my life be in the balance too? I have decided that inside my house I'm not going to ask any questions, or doubt that my wife and I are in danger.
