Reread my posts, please. I'm not advocating that you risk your life for a burglar, nor do I believe that anyone thinks they should chase after and gun down a burglar. And before you start quoting single sentences, please look at the statement in light of the paragraph, or in reference to who I am replying to. Hell, reread my first post. It comes down to this:
If you feel you need to kill someone to keep you and your family safe, fine. But if you're going to keep a gun in your house--if you're going to take the steps necessary to purchase and maintain a gun for the purposes of self-defense--make other plans and purchases as well. Having just the gun is careless. (This is not aimed at you directly, nor were most of my other posts. You walked in on the conversation.) When you have a gun as your first and last line of defense, it locks you into a volatile position that could easily escalate into a kill-or-be-killed situation. Yes, I understand, not everyone have these other options available to them, but most do.
