We put up gates ad fences. We put up steal and concrete wall, not we have doorbell and cameras to if someone in outside your home or at the door, so you can speak and make them think you are at home. We have security agencies and security products to protect us.
Why is a wall so objective? Let them stand in line at legal entry point.
So you'd let them in legally ? (before answering, read Post # 33)
I want a wall but I know people will still get in.
The other point about my home, is he armed?, am I armed?, is he aware there is anyone in house?, is he alone?
I don't want to shoot people trying to get in my home, I would have shot but he blinked and got the butt to his head. I tied him to the fencing around the elevator.
I have awards for shooting. If I had to shoot I would. If I can avoid shooting and find some other way.... I have knives and swords from around the world hanging on my wall, I have knives in kitchen, I have box cutters and scissors in most rooms, it's what ever is in the house to disable and disarm. My first instinct is not to pull a trigger but to use my head. If I have no other option, I will shoot
I've seen too much death and mutilation in my life.
As for the items in my home.......... don't touch my computer, the rest can either be replaced or I can live without them. I've been a refugee with just a suitcase starting a life over in a (some what) strange place. I had to start a square one and have to apply for replacement ID, and such. They are just things.
Life is more important or I might have stayed and been killed.
The intelligence thing is not to panic and pull if you can avoid it.
I want the "threat" to go to jail.
Rape????? I wouldn't even bother to exhale. Oops, I sneezed and it just went off
Can I kill absolutely. Do I want to? Not if I can avoid it
