Same here. Castle Doctrine FTW. You invade my personal property without my consent and you get a bullet (or 3) to the brain. It's perfectly legal to defend yourself or loved ones against attackers (in the vast majority of the US) by using lethal force. I know a few people who have killed in self defense and while they generally don't feel great about taking someone's life, they all say that they'd feel even worse if inaction on their part meant the loss of a loved one's life.

I live in "the Bible belt" and have had 2 attempted robberies against me. Both times I was armed and the fact that I had a weapon prevented the crime from happening. The criminals I confronted with were not prepared to risk their lives for my possessions, and I believe that's the way that most of them would be. Why bother with someone who will put up a fight when you can find someone who won't fight later?
