    No, you shoot them because you have no way of knowing why they’re in your home or what they’ll do.

      Good luck with that. I would advise you to get a very good attorney and have a robust bank account.

          New York is a castle doctrine state. That guy who shot those kids who pulled into his driveway, his private property, just got convicted and is going to prison for a long time.

          Be careful, folks. The dude who enters your home could just be a drunk. Use your brain before bullets.

            You mean the guy that shot someone who wasn’t breaking into his house or being a threat was found guilty? Color me shocked that an event wasn’t protected by a law that didn’t cover what happened.

      Or you just die, because the home invader has the drop on you.

      Its always cute to see people mind-palace how they would John Wick their way out of an armed conflict.

      No, you lock yourself in a defensive position and call the police. Hunting baddies in your dark house is statistically more likely to result in you shooting your kid who tries to sneak out.
