I can picture you standing over some guys body with a huge smile on your face that you finally got to kill a man for violating your property. Of course everyone standing around will wonder why you shot the mail man, but that's your business.
It seems like my right to own firearms and defend personal has struck a nerve with those who I assume are of the liberal persuasion on this forum due to all the snarky comments.
You didn't strike a nerve with me, I just don't understand someone who gets off on the idea of killing a violator. Defense is a necessary evil in my eyes, not something to get psyched about. But I thought it was a good joke, so I made it.
I don't get off on killing a violator. I'm simply feel that property rights are sacred in America. Other than the west coast and north east, states recognize this right via the Castle Doctrine.
I guess my biggest pet peeves are theft.. I don't understand why someone would want to take anything from someone else.. this includes intruding on personal property. I don't intrude on another person's personal space... ie going door to door, soliciting on the street, etc... I just want to be left alone... my property is essentially my sanctuary... and no one gets to set foot on it unless they have my permission... and vice versa.
Another part of it is from the fact that I was born and lived in one of the most dangerous cities in the country... the moved somewhere much safer.. then again lived in another very dangerous city (college campus location).. but now I've been back in my once-safe area and there has been a rise in crime SPECIFICALLY with trespassing/theft... it just sets me off thinking that someone intrudes on anyone's property, especially with evil intent.
I'm hoping I never have to resort to my guns in defense... at least not when living in NJ (no Castle Doctrine).. 1st line of defense is a ridiculously loud/complex security system.
