Would you ever shoot a man?

[|MP|Buccaneer]

Ace, Duncan, the biggest dog, weighs in at a over 215lbs.  And he's underweight (for a Mastiff).  So while he finishes off Jeb (which wouldn't take long) you would only have to deal with a 125lbs German Shepherd and a 70lbs Greyhound.  I don't think you have a prayer.  I'd be afraid to even try shooting Duncan, it would probably just piss him off.  I told Deadeye I was going to have a saddle made for him so Madeline can take him out for rides.  (you want a scary sight, walk in to find Deadeye sleeping next to Duncan on the couch)

Elandrion, some people just need to be hurt.  And why does it feel so good to hurt them =D

[Mr.Mellow]

The way I see it, if ANYONE enters my home without my permission, especially late at night or when they think I'm not around, I would shoot to kill. There's no valid reason for them to be there, and I would just have to assume they were going to harm me. Even if they're small and puny, I wouldn't try to take them down unarmed, because you never know if they have a gun hidden somewhere. Shoot first, ask questions later. If I had a family, you know I'd shoot him about 10 times, just to be safe. My family and my own safety mean a lot more to me then the life of some bastard who's trying to steal my hard-earned money and luxuries (not that I have any haha). I don't know if I'd shoot them or give them a chance to give up, but I'd probably just shoot, for safety purposes. If it turns out the person was innocent somehow, tough luck. They broke into my house and looked mighty suspicious. Anyhoo, just my 2 cents. Flame away. =D

 Yea my friend was robbed to not long ago and he tried to shoot him, but he missed. The guy got away with nothing. and was later cought.

What if it is your friends, trying to throw you a surprise party? That would suck if you shot your friends.

[BTs_FahQ2]

I would shoot to kill kill kill.  I would do anything possible to protect myself, my family, and my property.  At least here in the U.S., with our justice system, the perpetrator could be released at any time.  This means he could remember who got him busted the first time and he could want revenge or he just thought my stuff was so nice he would try again.

I say take away the thought in the back of my head knowing that he might just come back, and replace it with, I know where his grave is.

Duh. Walking in to your best friend messing around with your dog has to be a bit disturbing. (Yes, tell Deadeye I said that.)

[*DAMN Elandrion]

heh bucc, i had to be a bit drastic here. I rather meant that i'd never point a weapon at another human trying to hurt/shoot/kill.

ps: you don't have to be physically violent to hurt someone who deserves to be hurt...

Hah, I'd still shoot them if it wasn't on my birthday. Can't trust friends these days.

[j47]

Then again, with our dogs, I only expect to find a blood trail.  =D  We don't even lock our doors when we aren't home.

Buc -

Where did you say you lived again?

- J47

[|MP|Buccaneer]

Ace, it's disturbing enough when they are both just asleep airing their nuts.  I don't need a visual of anything worse.  

Elandrion, but it's so much more satisfying to hear the crunch when you do physically harm them.  

j47, just outside Detroit.  Feel free to stop by, the dogs could use a snack.  It would save me some money in dog food.

[alaric]

I'd shoot if I had to, otherwise, why would I want to make such a mess? Blood doesn't really come off stuff easily...

[S.p.i.d.e.r.]

I, much like Elandarion, could not intentionally or non-inententionally harm a person.

I'd opt to run my ass off and get to a phone.

[Toxic::Joka]

Never.

[kami]

I'd never have a gun at home, but if I did I wouldn't shoot anyone because people who break into houses in Sweden are never armed. If they were armed I'd shoot them in the shoulder or so, that is if I knew how to aim.

[Maniac]

In Texas you come in someones house you are most likely going to get shot thats they way it is. And if you kill some one you no how much we love the to give the injection so Texas = not good place to break in and try to kill or rob ect.

[0 Kilz:M:]

The only wat I'd shott someone is if my life or that of my family was in eminent danger. You fuck with kids, you die. You fuck with my family, you die. Other than that if you shhot someone in your house you will still most likely be charged with attempted murder. Sadly vigilante justice is'nt tolerated. look at that guy back about 15 years ago in NYC, he was getting robbed on a subway by seven guys with screwdrivers, he unloaded on them and they sent him to jail.

Here in Minnesota they just passed the conceal and carry law, all you have to do is take gun safety classes and you can legally carry a sidearm. Makes the thugs think twice about muggin people, still to shoot someone you would have to be in grave danger, I'd hate to mistakenly take someones life.

[Cutter]

actually hustler...if someone enters your house you have the right to shoot. in every state in america. I remember the case in the subway and just about everybody thought he got the shaft. Had he been in his house it would have been a different story. And how if somebody enters your home while your sleeping, do you know what he or they intend to do to you or your family? Unfortunatly most home invasions aren't always just burglaries. Assault, rape, murder, child abduction are all to common nowadays. Once they enter your house you have a choice...wait and find out what their intentions are or let them know exactly what your intentions are. It's a pretty easy call in my eyes...lay on the floor duct-taped watching your wife or kid get beaten and raped...or watch the stupid crackhead bleed to death while you call the cops.

*failure to prepare is preparing to fail
*when you lose control of a dangerous situation...you lose
*i'd rather be judged by twelve than carried by six

I'm not a gun crazy american, i'm not a member of the nra. (they're all cops). but this is the exact situation that was in mind when the right to bear arms was written. to protect your family and home. every action in life has a reaction..if you post porn or pirate in gr you get banned, if you fight at school you get suspended, if you come into my house uninvited you get.....exactly what you deserved.

[Overthrow.aHa!]

Fuck shooting them. If I was going to nearly kill another person I would do a good job of it. First I stab out their eyes, then I would cut off their ears and tounge. After that I would take a pair of pliers and rip out random teeth. Then I would grab the gun i was supposed to be shooting with and pistol whip them into unconciousness. Finally I would shoot out their knee-caps and kick them in the balls with some steel toed boots.

[Mr.Mellow]

Haha, I don't think you'd be able to get away with that, Overthrow. That's less self-defense and more like kidnapping and torture. lol.

[|MP|Buccaneer]

Another quick note on this.  Best weapon for home protection, if it comes to it, is a shotgun.  Much better to make sure you don't miss, and more stopping power.  It does limit your options.  You don't really get to shoot to wound someone with a 12ga at 10 feet.  You can aim for their knees, but taking a leg clean off, they'd probably bleed to death anyway.
