Killing in self defense is a last resort, but it's an option.

What's your opinion on sophisticated alarm systems?

Except that a murder often comes at the cost of failed self-defense. It is relevant to this thread because it would suck having to face the public after having shot your husband after struggling with him when he threatened to kill you with it. Or explaining how you shot your wife after losing your temper. This is how a lot of women are murdered. This is a reason why it would suck to kill in self-defense: It was someone who was supposed to love you. This is a reason why it sucks to commit murder: It was someone who you supposedly loved. Home invasions are a small statistic compared to this, especially when you deduct the element of gang-relations.

I agree; I was merely guessing what that freezing-up likely entails. I don't think it's a turtling. I think it's more of a gearing up. I'm sure some people would likely chance at having a go at it rather than lie down and die.

My money is on the Shaolin monks. Who's with me?
