It's likely that the ones interviewed who said that they would fill the intruder full of lead were cut from the interview.
Sheeple...that's what the vast majority of people are, and that's what they expect everyone else around them to be. I was cleaning my sidearm after going to the range, this was just a few days ago, and a friend of mine was asking me what I would do in a home invasion situation, and I told him that I would fight. He looked at me and said nervously, "you are a violent person." That sheeple mentality compromises personal safety and the safety of loved ones around you. I just laughed...some people will never get it.
The unfortunate reality is you have to be more violent than the person attempting to victimize you or you will be in a sh*tload of trouble. I don't know about anyone else on here, but I hate reacting in a violent manner, but when it's time for me to act, I act, and let the cards fall where they may. At least I did everything I could. I would rather have a bullet in the chest than the back of my head.
When a wolf is kicking in your front door you have two options, lay on the floor like one of the cowards in the interview or stand your ground and defend yourself and your loved ones that are in the home with you.
I will give an example:
My mother-in-law has water storage drums, you know, the big blue ones. She has them sitting outside her house in plain sight. I told her that she should probably store them in the shed or the basement of the house, because if SHTF and there was no water, people would come and take it from her. She looked at me and snobbishly stated, "I'm going to share it, if someone wants some, they can have it." I couldn't help but think how out of touch she is, especially with what happens to people when SHTF and they have no water or food sources, people get crazy, and opportunistic criminals have a hay-day when disaster strikes. They wouldn't want a drink of the water, they will demand the whole thing, and she will be left with nothing.
