1st. I am a gun onwer and enthusiast.

What gives any person the right to protect their property with lethal force ?
Are your physical belongings of such importance you need to take human life to protect them ?
If no one owned anything (which imho no one should) what would you need to protect other then life itself ?
All life has a divine right, but that divine right has been taken. Nothing you own is needed, other then in your mind, all other animals on this planet seem to survive just fine without these obsessive belongings.
so what is another human life worth ?
your car ?
your house ?
what exactly is it that warants the taking of another life ?
I can only answer this in one sure way. Life is the only thing worth defending with lethal force.
Would anyone here want me to shoot their child for breaking into my home to steal my tv ?

Thoughts on this ?

Correct me if i'm wrong but aren't there laws that give "repercussions" to all of the things listed above ?
im simply saying i see no real need in taking a human life over a possesion.

If you read his post he is also advocating that people shouldn't 'own' anything, so this would also be completely legal as well.

criminals get braver with each act that goes unpunished....they steal small items at first...then move to bigger ticket items and soon they if uncaught feel they can get away with anything....just my opinion but me and mine will stay with me and mine

From the Forum Rules: 15) WE ADVOCATE FOR THE 'LAW-ABIDING' ONLY: Posts advocating illegal acts of any kind are NOT welcome here. Even if you feel that a law is unconstitutional we do not break it, we repeal it or defeat it in the courts.

In just about every jurisdiction (Yes, Texas, we know you are not one of them) using lethal force in the protection of property is a crime.

If you are not sure about the laws in your state please check before you decide to do something that might be illegal. Even Texas has a short list of prerequisites that must be met.

As for the OP's question - are you looking for confirmation that your stated position is absolutely correct? You're not going to get it from me. There are too many possible variables of a home robbery situation to say absolutely yes or absolutely no.

What's your real point in posting this?

stay safe.

We do not have castle doctrine in WI. therefore we may not use deadly force to defend property. If you do use it in defense of property you will likely be charged with "murder". I believe that we should have castle doctrine and that this should be extended to your vehicle. I believe that if someone breaks into my house at night, I should not have to wait around to determine if he is after my ceramic cat figurine collection or to take my life before I may use force to stop the threat. If the intruder happens to die as a result of this force, it may be a senseless loss of life, but better the loss of their life at my hands than my life at their hands.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. If I shoot your child, I would feel for your loss, but they would be ultimately responsible for their death because of their actions. I would feel horrible if someone killed my child but if my child were breaking into their home, I would not hold ill will toward the person.

I worked hard for the items that I own. I don't feel a need to give any of it to a criminal, that feels he needs it more. Every choice has a consequence. If you make bad choices, your probably going to experience bad consequences. I will protect my family, and belongings, to a level I see fit. Do you have any cool guns that you "don't own"? Maybe I could come and pick them up, and not own them for a while.

Depends on which state you live in. WI is a criminal protected state, where places like TX, protect the innocent rather than the criminal.

lol, infact I have already started getting rid of all things I would consider needless possesion. Some would say the planet is over populated, I do not believe this to be true, I believe that the population over uses resource and I believe if your not a part of the solution you are a part of the problem.
