So, TR, you should be allowed to shoot-on-sight a person who breaks into your property, but not one who simply walks into your property. They could both be burglars, so, why waste one and spare the other?
Those who advocate the summary execution of burglars are hysterical fools, completely out of touch with reality. The law currently allows you to use reasonable force (even lethal force, where appropriate), so, why this ridiculous notion of shooting-on-sight?
It is not as if burglary is even on the increase. Between 1999-2001/02, domestic burglary in England and Wales fell by 23%. Sorry, I know some of you would like to hear that burglary is rife and out of control, but reality is rarely as exciting as media and political hype.
