Dragonlich,

I'm well aware of what you say.

In a recent study, over 50% of criminals interviewed in prison stated that the number one thing they feared was getting shot by a home owner.

Also, London now surpasses New York in terms of violent crime.

While I know there is a component of being comfortable with what you grew up with, even examing other countries and their systems, I'm still of the opinion that the original story is completely fuxored.

I mean really, a guy can't even protect his own property? No, you'll never convince me that's ok.

(sorry, it's late. If you want me to post links, let me know. Going to bed now.)
