Defense of person and property?
First off, this is NOT a gun control thread -- please do not turn it into one.
To what degree should a person be able to defend his or her property?
If someone is attempting to steal your $25,000 car should someone be able to use lethal force to attempt it from being stolen? What line are you willing to draw between theft of property, and potential harm to person which justifies doing bodily harm and/or fatal harm to a criminal?
In Minnesota it is illegal for a home-owner to defend their property if they are not in "imminent life-threatening danger." Meaning, as soon as a criminal turns their back on you, you cannot pursue or harm them. This seems to be placing a huge burden on the lawful home-owner, not the criminal, which is incredibly backwards imho.
