You guys can go back to deciding who to shoot and with what ammo, I'll be sure to stay clear of the line of fire from here on out.
Ok, to be very clear, again: I will not shoot someone over property, even though I have no moral qualms about doing so.

However, I will NOT surrender my property. I.E. I will try to take it back and make the intruder leave. If at that time the intruder tries to kill me, then I will defend myself. I won't kill over property, though I will take risks to protect it. I will kill in order to save my own life if the burglar attempts to murder me when I confront him.


And Derwood, I disagree. If I am confronting an intruder in my house, I will do so on my terms and I will be prepared.

Oh, and I don't think Obama is going to touch firearm legislation for a while, he's got other things to worry about.
