@MrGoat I'm a *bit* scared of people who *know* when it's the wrong time to use a gun but do it anyway. I'm also very fortunate to live somewhere where gun ownership is heavily regulated and relatively uncommon which means I'm lucky enough not to feel as though I *need* one.
@stueytheround Home Invasion defense is viable for owning one IMO. Or if you hunt.
@stueytheround not all states have a castle doctrine either, although they should.
@stueytheround @MrGoat yep. I think that ideally we should be able to defend our homes, then the risk of I could be severely injured or killed as a result would put some off trying a B&E, but could it encourage others to go in super tooled up and "injure/kill first". It could spiral. It's a really tough debate.
@MrGoat I think it ought to be reasonable to defend your home, everywhere and perhaps if more criminals understand that breaking in could cost them their lives, they might not break in.
