Joe D.I don't think I would feel bad about protecting my family by any and all means.
You never know what is in the mind of someone who is in your house. You may like to assume it is just the stereo he is after... but maybe he then sees your wife - or your children.
I don't own a gun... mainly because I have never had the experience / know how to use one - and fear that maybe my kid or another kid would accidentaly harm themselves with it (I'm sure gun owners know how to avoid this situation), or that I would accidentally harm someone with it.
But I don't think the gun owners should feel bad about shooting an intruder... even if that intruder was just coming in to take a stereo.
thats just my opinion.
