shooting someone

[Posse]

Just been watching the news and a farmer has shoot at four people trying to brake into his house and is probely going to go down for doing so

 

WTF If someone tried to brake into my house and I felt threatened they would deffo get the knees shoot off whats this country coming to?

 

Maybe get rid of all the door locks and let the scum just walk in and help them selfs and watch them steel your stuff ( becouse if you touch them your be in the shite)

I sit somewhere in the middle on this contentious issue.

 

Sure you should have the right to defend yourself and your property against uninvited intruders......but the right to shoot, and possibly kill, them? I dunno, that's a bit extreme for me.

I would'nt shot them dead just shoot so the fookers could'nt walk again and do the same to someother person.

[w p e]

i thought not so long ago they brought back the english mans castle bit

to deter the scum i would not hesitate to shoot or hurt them in a harsh way

With a shotgun, I don't think you have much accuracy option. i.e. Bang, all the shot fans out and while you may have aimed for the legs, but by the time a little distance is accounted for, plus your own wobbly hands nervous about shooting someone / pumped up in the heat of the moment etc, you've either taken out his calves down to his feet or his thighs up to his stomach. The latter option will leave him pretty poorly, if not dead.

 

Much as it would anger me to have someone break in to my house and steal my hard earned property, I don't think I'd want someone's death on my conscience, nor would I want to do time for it. A good beating (in self defence of course ) and a few broken limbs, yes indeed
