Someone is robbing your place, how will you deal with it?

So If you catch a thief stealing your possessions....will you beat him or take his/her life away? lets just say you dont know if he is armed or not because he doesnt see you coming, Ill definitely take their life away..no 2nd chance!

ill beat them till there concious but i wouldnt take their life away

Do what ever I reasonably can to incapacitate him or her and if necessary, use lethal force. Then I call the police and kick him or her in the kneecaps :P

Unspeakable things...

Nothing says "get the **** out of my house!" like a swift blow to the calf with the 5-iron I keep next to my bed.

Either that or they have the misfortune to alert my dog.

Shoot him in the face. KHAndAnime

Shotgun to the knee. Then i let him decide whether he wants to call the cops himself, or die bleeding.

Start taking off my clothing until they get scared and leave.

:D.. slash them open with my military knife. . :D

Probably try to choke them out :P

Take them out.

Will try to just incapacitate but if need be I will kill them.

When it comes to that situation, their life does not mean anything to me when my life and/or the lives of people I care about is in danger because of them.

I would pull one of my guns on him and ask him to leave. Then take take him down if he doesn't.

More than half of you would get sued. You cant beat the criminal until your satisfied. He has to be a threat, and remain one. If you take a baseball bat and hit him, knocking him down, you cant just keep hitting him. This especially comes true if he had no weapon, and he said he gave up after the first swing but you just kept swinging. Very few states let you use deadly force. Causing a life long disability often will net you a lawsuit. Your "supposed" to, if at all possible, leave your home in the event of a break in. If you cant, your legally able to defend yourself, but not go further. If your state however has the castle doctrine, and you can "for sure" know there is a weapon on the individual, shoot to kill. However, if he/she is unarmed, you will be in some deep deep crap.CreasianDevaili

[QUOTE="CreasianDevaili"][QUOTE="Pirate700"]You do NOT want to do this. You shoot to kill or you don't shoot at all. You will only get sued.

Probably smash their head in with something. I've always wanted to try a frying pan.

Oh.. well then by all means go all fargo on they're butts and use a wood-chipper too. hehe

[QUOTE="Pirate700"]

[QUOTE="CreasianDevaili"] Thats what i said in mine. If you shoot, shoot to kill. It sucks but you also cannot "defend" your property. Meaning, it has to be the defense of your life or the life of another, when it comes into using deadly force, or any deadly weapon.CreasianDevaili

[QUOTE="CreasianDevaili"][QUOTE="Sajedene"]Shoot him on his arm or leg - barely missing the major arteries...ferret-gamer

I read the thread title as rubbing your place at first. Anyway i would probably just call the cops.

[QUOTE="CreasianDevaili"][QUOTE="Pirate700"]Depends if your state has the cassle law. Either way, once they are in your house they are for the most part fare game. It is impossible to prove that you weren't in danger when someone breaks into your house while you're home.

[QUOTE="Pirate700"]

[QUOTE="CreasianDevaili"] Right, but, families will still try, and in this stupid world they might succeed. That is also why its always noted NOT to shoot someone where they can fall out of your window, or door, after the shot. That shows they were "running away" or still just entering in which case you could not yet determine the threat. I grew up in the deep country in ohio. The cops nor the EMT's are gonna reach where I lived in under 30-40 minutes, if that. So I became very familiar with what i could, or couldnt do cause in this event, i was on my own.CreasianDevaili

You mean like my "Insured by Smith & Wesson" window sticker? :lol:

Its kind of along the same lines of putting up signs that there are dogs that will attack you if you enter the properly. CreasianDevaili

Right, but just with owning dogs, if your willing to shoot a gun you should be able to "handle" the weapon you own. If you have vicious dogs, then you should know how to keep them inside your property, without fail. Countless people do it. With guns, you should also know where to shoot so they dont suffer, and not need to have a 2 foot spread of the impacts.

[QUOTE="Pirate700"]

[QUOTE="CreasianDevaili"] Another precaution, just for your own butt.. is to put up a sign on your windows/doors where the burglar can see saying that the home owner IS armed. Now, this might just mean your only going to get truely armed criminals, but its something that also can save your own ass at times. Its kind of along the same lines of putting up signs that there are dogs that will attack you if you enter the properly. CreasianDevaili

I like the one that says "We don't dial 911" and there's a picture of a gun underneith. :lol:

[QUOTE="ferret-gamer"][QUOTE="CreasianDevaili"] Shooting to maim also gets you into alot of potential lawsuits.CreasianDevaili
