I'd like to add that a very large number of B & Es are committed by "kids". Sometimes they're bad kids. Sometimes they're good kids who are doing a bad thing. Sometimes they were pressured into it.

Point? In my opinion, it's a little (no, a lot) harsh to take the stance that if someone is in your house who doesn't belong there, you would be willing, able, and ready to shoot them. Keep in mind, that could be your thirteen year old kid taking a dare someday.

If you shoot an unarmed intruder or a child, then you took an irresponsible shot.
