if someone breaks into your house....

**acarmelo1** · 03-15-11, 10:18 AM

Shoot them in the balls

**acarmelo1** · 03-15-11, 10:19 AM

Why can you get sued if someone is breaking into your house? That is just stupid.

**playr101** · 03-15-11, 10:19 AM

and... most people are not well trained shooters. So you are going to shoot someone in the leg, in the dark, slightly panicked, one shot, etc.....

good luck

I am NRA trained and licensed in self defense with a deadly weapon, and have had jobs where I was made to understand law and circumstances when it comes to self defense and deadly force..I am Just answering based on That.

Statistics show that holding a gun on someone or shooting below the waist will only cause the person breaking in to have more chances to hurt You or your family. The Guy isn't breaking in to borrow some sugar.

If someone breaks into my house where My wife and my two babies live, I will unfortunately be shooting to kill. Its legal at that point, and their safety is my priority. Too many people have been hurt by trying to finesse the situation.

I'm afraid it depends on the state. In the state of California you do not have the right to kill him.

I'd fire a warning shot along with pumping my shotgun. If he chose not to leave the house at that point I'd fire upon his leg with my 9mm and call the police.

This is America. the legal system that protects the innocent also protects the criminals.

Google it, it happens.

blow them away, what the **** are they thinking

**Money** · 03-15-11, 10:32 AM

Im pretty sure most states you cannot legally shoot an intruder if the intruder doesnt possess a gun. I think its a pretty dumb law, considering youre not going to wait to see him pull out his gun for you too, but thats the way the law reads, at least in VA I know. You are only allowed equal level of self defense, IE. if he has a gun, you can shoot him. If he has a knife, you can stab him.

Discretion is up to law enforcement on scene....they can easily charge you for the illegal weapon but most states...don;t see this happening. There was a case in NY a few years ago...guy breaks in and is found in baby's room...the homeowner/dad shoots him....thief is treated and charged with the break in and the dad is charged for not having the weapon registered. Shitty

kill them

**geebert74** · 03-15-11, 10:36 AM

I would shoot them in the fukking face. If they are in my home they are there looking for trouble and believe you me... They would find it.

What if you have a gun and the intruder has a knife, are you supposed to let him stab you and your family before shooting him? If thats really how it works in VA, remind me to never live there.

**geebert74** · 03-15-11, 10:37 AM

Especially since I just put night sites on my gun this past weekend... SOB would be dead!

**nosniboR11** · 03-15-11, 10:39 AM

all you texas people think alike based on what i have seen. i think the majority of texans are trigger happy. i dont think i would make it in texas.

**10dollawinna** · 03-15-11, 10:55 AM

if someone breaks in, im not waiting around to see if they have a gun or why they broke in. if im home you picked the wrong house. 12 gauge pump

**dfberger23** · 03-15-11, 10:59 AM

Anyone saying they wouldn't shoot to kill is a liar.

I would take that fukkers head off.

Looks like I would face legal ramifications then. Fukk I don't care, rather be alive and in prison for whatever length of stay it is then rotting in the ground.

**Lazy-Man** · 03-15-11, 11:43 AM

1 shot in the face if he's holding a weapon, if not than one in the leg and just jump on him.

**G's pks** · 03-15-11, 12:17 PM

cookies and milk? It could be santa!

**pavyracer** · 03-15-11, 12:19 PM

It depends. If he has a weapon I would shoot him first and ask questions later. If he is not armed I will ask him to leave.

**jarvol** · 03-15-11, 12:49 PM

In the South we shoot to kill......40+ caliber and hollow tipped bullets. No need to mess around with a little .22 or .25 or something small unless it is just for concealed/pocket carry. You will not be prosecuted for protecting your domain, at least in my state, and as someone basically said earlier a dead perp can't testify. Hell if nothing else go put an empty toilet tissue roll in the dead perp's hand and tell the cops you thought he had a gun.

**keenecharger21** · 03-15-11, 12:51 PM

i would give them the gun

naw i would point the gun calll the police

This is the real point. I wonder how many of these "shoot the knee" folks have ever fired a weapon. It's not as easy as it seems on TV...

And there's no automatic aim like on XBox Call of Duty either

We sleep with our bedroom door shut and locked. If I ever hear something downstairs, I always grab the machete and walk out slowly. Soon as I open the door, I pull the machete out of the sleeve and it makes that noise, like when you sharpen a knife. That would scare me to hear that if I was breaking into a house. Either that or the sound of a clip getting put in a gun would be enough to make me run.

1. I doubt anyone hears your machete, and unless your trained with a knife i doubt playing ninja is really going to work out in your favor.
2. They are called magazines not clips

Here in Indiana we don't have to worry about that

ask??

**Doug** · 03-15-11, 02:08 PM

I'd have no problem emptying my pistol into the robber and then calling the police or disposing of the body myself ( if my gun wasn't legal). I'd gladly personally kill off a good 95% of multiple felons in prison too.
