You are allowed to use deadly force to protect yourself if someone breaks into your house and tries to harm you. I would have shot him too.When someone breaks into a house, they risk their life because they don't know if the owner has a weapon that will end up injuring/ killing them. The man in the video got shot and it was his own dang fault.
Well said! If he can't stand the heat, he should have stayed out of the kitchen.
Plan B is my plan: put at LEAST one bullet in him as soon as possible after he enters your house. I call it the "attitude adjustment" method.
I reckon that is similar to the "put the brakes on somebody" method.

I always loved the way my great grandpa would say it, and keep in mind he was a 6'2" man strait from the backwoods of Alabama, so you have to add the accent in you imagination. He just said that was how you would "teach 'em to don't".
But he would phrase it like "I'll teach 'em to don't".
I just always thought that was funny, but while we are in this thread and on the topic, that same grandpa was walking home from school in 3rd grade and found his father shot dead in a ditch. Apparently the neighbor was "board" and shot and killed him for no apparent reason, and from a distance while he was just walking by, so there was no altercation at that point to prompt the shooting. So in 3rd grade he quit school and became the primary provider because he had no choice. I would say that fits under the category "cowardly shooting".

What I gather from the title of this thread is that a person who murders with a gun is a bigger coward than a person who murders in a different manner. That makes a lot of sense (sarcasm).
Isn't it interesting no one has post this headline this week?
At least 12 dead in Islamist terror attack at satirical French publication
I wonder, why is that? Is it because it didn't happen in the U.S.? That it happened in one of the tightest gun-control countries in the world, and yet this Islamic terrorists still managed to get hold of guns? Wow, ain't that amazin'?

I believe that David chose his title to act as the converse of another thread that was active at the same time this one was created. That thread was specifically for posting news articles about people who successfully used a firearm in self defense.
Yeah, which in itself was a silly thread.
It's pretty hard to find unbiased reporting these days. The marjority of defensive cases never get reported, this includes both firearms and other means of defense.
News outlets like dead bodies. Unless someone dies, they're not really interested in actually reporting it.
Statistically though, defensive uses trump offensive uses by a very healthy margin. And offensive uses account for far less deaths than on the highway.
