Its not simply the value of a TV set as you put it. Its a violation of someones HOME. Not just a house, but your home and your family. Thats worth more to me than the life of some crack addict burgular.

I don't think any of us can say how we would react until we've actually been there. I hope we never have to either. But if it did happen to me, and someone close to me was killed by them, I would have hoped I'd done EVERYTHING possible to stop them - if I happen to have a gun at the time, I may well use it. I won't know until it happens.
