Dude, I know it makes no sense. If someone tried to break into my house and I had a gun, I would probably shoot them. Look into it though, if you shoot someone in your house who doesnt have a weapon its excessive force. Im positive that you can sue if someone slips and hurts themselves while trying to enter the window of some grandmas house; its been done before.

that's because there are judges that are retarded, it's not a common place thing. If someone comes into your house with a knife and tries to hurt you or your family, you can shoot them. Period.

if your going to shoot a tresspasser make sure you kill him because like milla said if you shoot someone anywhere its considered attempted murder *taking into consideration you don't kill him and it wasn't self defense*
edit: why do we have a thread talking about killing people? lol

Damn, what a bunch of retarded statements.
Yes, here in the States, if someone gets hurt while breaking into your home, they can sue. That doesn't mean they'll win. In fact, i never heard of a single case where a perp won.
A buddy of mine blew off a guys leg with a 12ga shotgun in his house. The guy broke into his house and was beating his mother with a hammer. Buddy grabbed the 12ga and shot the guy behind the leg because he didn't want to shoot his mother. The guy lost his leg and tried to sue from jail. Of course the judge threw it out.
You break into someones home and get shot in the process with a licensed gunholder, chances are you'll lose the suit if you try to sue and the homeowner will be cleared of charges.
The world is my urinal

dont do that... if its just a bunch of punk kids, maybe give em a good o0l fashioned beating, but going armed is just asking for the situation to get out of hand. If you beat a kid with a baseball bat for throwing eggs, you might not like the consequences

if judges don't throw cases like that out, they should be fired.

Kill everyone who steps foot on your property. It's what any rational person would do. As the great Reverend Jerry Falwell said "Blow em away in the name of the lord"
