Considering everything that is going on with the riots I pose this question. Even though I know the answer for most here I'm still going to ask.
If a protester/rioter threw a Molotov cocktail at your home or business, or broke into it. Would you pull the trigger?

Not answering the question online. In the face of a threat my family comes first with no hesitations.

Its so hard to answer. Its easy to watch on TV and say it needs to be done.
But when that time comes directly to you, the adrenaline and fear is impossible to predict.
You will be arrested if you kill someone. Is possibly sitting in prison the rest of your life worth it? again, the specific situation helps dictate it.
I have no idea and hope I never have to make a choice.

I'm kind of a ruthless and heartless motherfucker when it comes to life, limb, and personal property protection, I'll let you figure it out.  |

Yes house, no business, assuming my family wasn’t in the business. I am pretty subdued but god help whom ever hurts one of my kids.

I'm very much like biglakebass in not knowing until the situation happens. To be honest I hope I would have my family out of harm's way ahead of time and avoid being in the situation to need that type of protection.

I believe in the face to face with a dude in my home I would have a quick finger. I have zero patience for people that knowingly are breaking into a home with people and kids there. Would I give the dude a chance to give himself up? If I can safety do it yes. Business I guess is a little different. If they just did damage I might blast one into the sky and would hope that would be enough.
If I'm pulling the trigger I would not have guilt. You reap what you sow in those cases. And there is a reason I don't go breaking into other people's home. Pretty simple.

If the person is going to do you or your family bodily harm I would shoot them. If the person is stealing crap I would not kill someone for stuff. Stuff you can replace, but harming anyone in the family, no question about it.

If you shoot them in the guts you never know for sure what happened to them.
I hunt with a recurve and know this truth.

My permit to carry class...
Make sure he is dead so there is only one side to the story.
Then call the cops.

Throwing a fireball in the house? No I wouldn’t shoot. If someone enters the home with the clear intent to cause harm, absolutely. 2 in the chest before he hits the ground
