The life of my own wife and daughter mean more to me than any other person's life, and they both depend on me for some type of safety. If I allowed a man to enter my home and harm them, then I have failed my family. If I tried to defend them, then I at least tried. The man is in the wrong for entering my private home with the intent to do harm. Now, my house is not spacious enough to swing a shovel at him. If I had one, I would be sweinging it at his head. Why? because my intention is to stop him from progressing. But...what if he is so much larger and stronger than I am that he can easily dodge or deflect the swing and continue to make aggrivated assault on us? Well, then I have failed, and will have to suffer my family at his descretion, then maybe he will move on to hurt my neighbor who is 73 years old. (Her house was broke into last month, but all the guy found was an angry Chow! Lol!) Anyway...my point is...no matter how big the guy is...I bet a gun would stop him from continuing to harm my family. I have to stop the man from succeeding in a crime. Right? What if I could do nothing to shoot him, because my shovel was out in the gargage? Should I ask him to "hold on a minute,,,I need to go get my shovel so we can fight like civil people"? It is either he kill me or I kill him. I am gonna decide that he should die. Afterall...he would not die if he had stayed outside my house and not woke me up.
