I still don't think a criminal should be shot for JUST stealing things, even if they are guns. I see what you're trying to say here, but I'm commenting more on the idea that Mr. Joe Blow saw some guy running away with his TV and that he for some reason has the right to shoot.




Not going to lie, I've gone to the wrong house (when I lived in a house) AND wrong building before. They all look the same and I was new to the areas both times.

I hope I'm not one of the "Worlds Dumbest" because I'm headed off to teach this year!!

That's the issue. You have a second to decide what to do with a small piece of the puzzle.Everything would be easy if we had the whole story, which the news rarely gives. Then you have all the time you need to Monday morning quarterback it and say it was wrong. Think outside the box and think about what could go through your mind as your dealing with a shoot don't shoot situation.

Yea the guy walking down the street with a stolen tv didn't need to be shot but no body here said he does. However coming out of the window could be a different story.

I guess I pay closer attention to detail because I have never tried to enter the wrong house or apartment. Still not budging though. If you get shot or beat for it, its still your fault.

For the record I would rather be shot than beat with a bat.
