I’m not American, but I still find it crazy that I’m expected to huddle in a corner with a butter knife, hoping someone doesn’t hurt me and my family, and wait for the police to never show up while someone rifles through my house. Fuck that.
Just like your example was. There was a case in the UK like 15/20 years ago where a farmer(Tony Martin seems to ring a bell as the name) shot an intruder with a gun(legally owned). He was acquitted.

Better judged by 12 than carried by 6.
And that’s why we should be able to shoot anyone that cuts us off in traffic 👍
Yah, that isn’t disengenuous at all.

And yet it happens, seemingly regularly
If I lived in a country where this was something to worry about, if worry about it.
It’s not something I’ve ever thought about or considered in Australia.
Sure break-ins happen but violent crimes during break-ins… it’s so rare I’ve never heard of or met anyone that knows of it happening.
Most European countries have civilian arrest laws, for your information.
