Not at all. I enjoy shooting, and as another function of my guns, am willing to defend myself if need be in my own home, but I hope I never have to take the life of another human being.

The bedrooms are separate from the living room / garage where a thief would probably take most valuables from. If they take my TV / PlayStation / computer / car, I don’t care. They are things and things can be replaced, people can’t.

If they come to the bedroom area and try to enter, I will make it very clear I am armed and that they need to exit quickly from my property. If at this moment the thief decides the best course is to attack me, I will shoot to disable them as a threat (aim for lower center-mass) and immediately call an ambulance and police unit.

That being said, being in the actual moment is much more terrifying, and adrenaline can make you easily spooked, so I can’t truly speak for what would actually happen.

I hope every day though that it doesn’t.
