Agreed, and this is the imminent danger law protection provided to families.

As to the Deadly force to Protect Private property.........to me this is a very grey area.

I want to be able to protect my home/business if their is a power outage from every hooligan who wants to steal all my "life" just because of some natural disaster or riot.

On the other hand, IMO, just property is not worth taking a life. I myself would have called the police, and then got descriptions, plate numbers if they were to drive away, etc if they were stealing from my neighbor, and hoped the police could get the property back.

If I knew my neighbors 13 year old daughter were home alone, I might even shoot them.
If they broke into my home, they just shouldn't have.

To say I would have gone outside and created a situation which put my life in danger. Nope. That was just stupid. What if he would have shot one of them, but the other would have shot him. Too many unknown variables for something I can go buy.
