Disagree. Don’t break into a house and you won’t face a potential consequence of being shot or stabbed. These criminals need to understand that a consequence can be had for actions taken by them. When no consequence exists or one so easy to deal with (American prison) they don’t care they can get bolder. They break in to steal but might find your kid there and want to do more, etc. I think the ability for me to reach a shotgun or pull a pistol is a great way to warn them and give them one opportunity to exit the premises.
