*Ryan* Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 When i see stories in the paper, of the homeowner might face jail time.

You're not allowed to tie him up and stab him thirty times with a meat cleaver. Are you saying that you should be so allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeadingNorth Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I don't see why you shouldnt use a knife or a gun if you hold it legally. A knife would be the only thing I could think of to use in my house. I don't have a poker or a baseball bat. A kitchen knife is probably the best thing! If you happen to be in the kitchen at the time, it's perfectly reasonable to grab a handily available knife and use it to threaten any burglars into leaving. If they don't leave, they become a threat to your person and it's reasonable to stab them with it. If you happen to nick an artery and they bleed to death, too bad. There will inevitably be a police investigation but you won't have committed a crime. What wouldn't be reasonable is to keep stabbing them over and over with a clear intent to kill. The idea is to prevent them from injuring you, not to exact bloodthirsty retaliation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
