If you're a stranger in my home at 3 AM robbing me and I've got a gun, you'll get shot. Simple and to the point.

PM me your address and I'll make sure I give yours a miss. My dad warned me how good Old Crusty was with a gun :lol:

;)

If he PMs me his address then I will make sure I also bring a gun to rob him and shoot first.
After all, if he is armed then there is no point in taking chances, right?

As for "My property, my stuff"; to (bluntly) paraphrase Plato's Socrates:
The virtuous man can not be harmed by the loss of his "property and stuff" because
the only thing that matters to him is his virtue and that can not be taken or harmed.

It is my view that Stealth Hunter is more concerned about his "property and stuff" than he is about doing the right and virtous thing.

Heh, but in Platos republic criminals wouldnt get the other cheak, they would get hit hard.

I must disagree!
Whilst he is certinaly of the view that criminals must be punished in order for them to
change, there is no discription of how this should be done in the republic.

He talks about the reformation of criminals, certinaly not the killing of them with out trial.

The only real crime and punishment dialouge is the punishment of the tyrent Ardiaeus, and
that occurs in Hades.

Criminals vs. Perpitrators

The use of the word criminal implies one that has been caught tried and convicted. A perpetrator implies one attempting or suspected of committing a crime and has not been caught. These were unlucky perpetrators. As previous posters suggested, they knew the risks before committing the crime. Mr. Horn broke the law in that Texas law does not authorize the use of deadly force to protect your neighbor’s home. Luckily our fine justice system in Texas also compliments itself with common sense. My meaning here is that a police officer friend told me yesterday that the Grand Jury has no-billed Mr. Horn. His only punishment will be his conscience.
Let other perps take a lesson from their more unfortunate colleagues.
