Barry,

I would do everything possible not to shoot someone that had broken into my house - let them take laptops, etc. But I do like having a gun around because if push really came to shove and I thought I was in danger I would use it (or at least I hope I could). I'd even fire into the wall first just to make sure it was unmistakeable that I had a gun.

But you are right. Shooting someone would change a life forever, and that's why I would do whatever needed to not get to that point. I guess it would come down to a choice between changing my life forever and possibly not having a life to change.
