Nathan, you echoed my sentiment perfectly, and quite eloquently, I might add.
I would not move against the assailant with conscious intent to kill; but my reaction would be physical force necessary to disable and restrain. As you said, if in the process he were to die, I would not lose sleep over his death. I would sleep all the better knowing my family is safer for my quick decision and actions.
I understand your frustration about the laws in some states that give criminals the right to sue you, when they are injured on your property during the commission of a crime, which they themselves are committing against you. This is just plain stoopid. But the world is getting crazier and more corrupt with each passing year, so nothing surprises me these days. It's one big Mad Hatter's tea party, and those of us who favor logic are hard pressed to maintain our own sanity in the face all this madness.
