thats true but in this country its hard to get away with self defence even if someone is robbing your home in the middle of the night armed.If you use a weapon on them they will sue you and its bad but the perputrator gets in less trouble than the person protecting there home alot of the time.I have even heard of men breaking in and braking an arm or leg on the way out and then they sue the homeowner for having unsafe windows or driveway or whatever.It makes me sick that we cant defend ourselves in our own home when we are being invaded.If i had a gun and someone came into my house in themiddle of the night i would use it on them.Not kill them just a few shots in both there kneecaps so they cant walk for a while.If i did that i would probably go to jail just for having a firearm and he would be happy and rich for the rest of his life with the compensation he would recieve.WRONG WRONG WRONG...
