    I would. Why should I let a scumbag rob me? What man would meekly surrender like that?

    I believe you should be legally allowed to kill anyone who breaks into your home.

    And I presume you'd take them on as warriors? Hand to hand, it is the basis of all combat

    Nope. Shoot and aim for the centre of the body. No heroics and one less scumbag.

    Some eejits on this thread.


    If any of ye ever actually killed someone you're whole attitude would change that's for sure. Well, it would either change or you'd just be pondlife scum if you held the same convictions.

    Defending your home and people is the epitome of masculinty.

    Assuming that it is a choice completely in my hands (such as I am pointing a loaded gun at them and they have no weapon) then it would depend on what the situation was.

    Somebody making their way out my door with my TV in their hands - I'm not going to shoot them in the back as they leave.

    Somebody being a threat to the safety of my family - yes, and I'd like to think, without hesitation.

    But I don't think anybody can really be all that sure what they'd do in that moment.

    Do what it takes to defend yourself. It's not a kung fu movie. You don't worry about 'honourable' techniques and tactics.

    You come and find an intruder raping your daughter. You're saying you wouldn't be capable of killing in that situation?

    It happens. Read a case in America where a man killed two men raping his daughter.

    Obviously the old man was racist and should have used his words to difuse the situation.

    Its bollix is what it is, the likely hood of someone breaking into your house and raping your daughter is so minisicule that should discuss it as a likely scenario for killing someone???

    What if aliens were fingering your granny? You'd change your story then!

    Did they break into his house and rape her? Otherwise it's moot

    Now I'm no cissy. I'm quite very large, and I've dance the punchy tango with a lot of lads over the years, but the whole "I'd kill them where they stand" makes me lol. Would you? Would you though? How would you? Do you think they'd stand there while you wake up, figure out where the crappy golf-putter is and then let you clobber them to death with it? Lol. you'd still be wiping the sleep out of your eyes, wondering why herself is poking you so hard, they'd be gone. And you'd be relieved. Very relieved. If you think not, you're either in a biker gang or nuts.

    Pff, what sort of a man would be afraid to go mano a mano with some scumbag?

    Jokes aside, yeah I agree if you need to defend yourself, but having an intruder doesn't necessarily mean youve got to
