I think shooting at a thief should be expected when these guys steal. The mortal head shot at 70 yards with a Mosin Nagant was obviously a mistake.

Sometimes you have to speak in a language that is understood by those that are offending. You cant threaten hell to an atheist and a little bit of fear can go a long way with these creeps that think the world is their personal wal-mart. Putting them in crime college for 6 months doesn't seem to do anything.

I have a friend in NV that leaves his doors unlocked and his garage open and never gets ripped off. Why, you ask? Because there is a VERY high probability that the owners are home, well armed and WILL shoot. Slimey little thieves dont want to take that risk.

AuntyM, it isn't just this administration, but you are right, too many people thinking they can train a rattlesnake, and when it bites it is society failing at rehabilitation.
