What would you do if someone broke into your house? What would you do if someone tries to break into your house?

What would you do if someone broke into your house? What would you do if someone tries to break into your house?

In my country, you could go to jail if you hurt the burglar, I am very paranoid about this. I'm scared shitless about having my house broken into just because i know that i'll have to choose to either defend my house and risk going to jail or sit like a bitch and have my honor stomped on

You don't have honor, that's a citizens or noble's right. Subjects are not allowed to actually own anything so you never lost anything anyway.

t. Amerifat.

get dogs

cry and assume the fetal position in the cabinet under my sink

Laugh at him for wasting him time breaking into a shithole with nothing worth stealing.

Straight to the jaw.

the house is way too small for dogs
prison for "unnecessary excessive force"
I have a very expensive work laptop as well as a camera

lol your politicians probably consider all life valuable while preventing you from self-defense under the threat of prison

Good job cucks

you beat the living shit out of him and chase him away

>Happened two months ago and my adrenaline was through the roof
>I work remote/from home and don't need to be in the office every week

Live in an apartment housing community with over 20 buildings/lots
Working from home
Laptop open, sitting on the couch going through emails
Hear someone outside my apartment walking around and making noise
Figure neighbor his here or package delivery dropping shit off
My door knob shifts, I sit there trying to listen what is going on outside of the door while I'm on the couch looking at the door now
Door knob is making noise, both locks are locked so not sure who is there or trying to check if my door is unlocked
Reach for my g19 by the corner table
Sit on the couch and just listen in silence, trying to make not a sound of noise
Hear someone walk away through the door and down the stairs
Sit in silence for 10 minutes listening, gun in hand, finger off the trigger
Decide to walk out and check surrounding
Gun hidden to the side, look out of my door nobody there, no packages on the floor or neighbors doors
Couldn't understand who that could have been or why they would check if my door was open by attempting to twist the knob

I have a knife and pepperspray under my bed. I'm not American so these "weapons" aren't allowed in public, but i can have them in my apartment.
If someone breaks into my apartment, i will consider them a "threat towards my life or person" and defend myself using these "weapons", and it is my right to do so, as far as i know.

>In my country, you could go to jail if you hurt the burglar, I am very paranoid about this.

Which country is this so I know never to live there

Keep a knife and tactical flashlight in your night stand, or buy a gun.

call police and leave phone on

repeatedly inform the intruder that i've called the police and am armed

if they persist and approach or enter the room i'm in then i will shoot them

of course in reality i'd probably just be screaming random shit and stomping my feet to seem big so they don't know i'm a manlet

youtube.com/watch?v=5HMHtCgcUE0

probably Spain

Chances are nobody knows the burglar is there at that moment. Just make him disappear

Shoot to kill.

100% Spain.
This fukn country works like that, yeah.

If a shithead drowns in my pool, I get in trouble if I don't have a sign that tells >here's a pool

And more like that.

Caso Tous

Only correct answer is you shoot the shithead.

Post yfw your state has castle doctrine.

Shoot them. I have 4 loaded guns scattered around my house at all times.

>16 rounds in the chamber

...

>repeatedly inform the intruder that i've called the police and am armed
Never let someone know you're armed.

in my country you have a stupid rule that you can't defend yourself before 10PM, but after that as far as i know almost everything goes, i don't know i'd probably use one of my training longswords to break his legs

>Don't mind me just pirating this door

Hungary ?

No thanks, I just ate

lol,
youtube.com/watch?v=ALZZx1xmAzg

anyway, stealing doesn't make killing acceptable,
not if you're a policeman
not if you're a fellow armed citizen
it's reasonable to shoot only to defend your life, not if just your goods are in danger. a thief breaking into your house is not necessarily a threat to your persona. if the thief is escaping already, shooting at him is plain murder.

besides, preparing yourself to beat the shit out of an intruder is probably better than carrying a gun with yourself. 99% of the fellow armed citizen won't or can't shoot, or won't or can't shoot in such a stressful situation; and that's a recipe for disaster.

this is great

Not in Texas, you pussy bitch. I don't give a fuck what your intentions are, if you break into my home, you're getting fucking ventilated.

Shoot them with my assault rifle I bought at Walmart

Mosin nagant bayonet stab + pull trigger ideally.

But depending on where I am in the house, whatever gun is closest is fine

Maybe not my 45-70 though. I don't want to have to fix that much drywall

what?

>In my country, you could go to jail if you hurt the burglar

"He said he was going to kill me" and it's no longer a burglary. Easy.

1. tell them to stop and don't move
2. if they move shoot them

WHY AH YOU HEEERE?

The best they could burgle from my house is a pair of dumbbells

I believe everyone should have a firearm in their home for their protection from burglars. If you break into someones home you are intruding on someones life and livelihood. But I think those people that constantly carry around a concealed gun are a little bit excessive, paranoid even. Btw your countries laws are literally backwards.

yes in my country too. if he is with knife for example you cant use gun against him or some shit law

If I lived in a place where I would go to jail for hurting the burglar, or even for defending my home in a way that did not harm the burglar, then I would make sure that the burglar died. I mean, if I'm gonna go to prison anyways, I might as well make it worth the time and make sure that justice got served to the burglar.

I'd tie them up and get mediaeval on them. Then I'd probably bum them (no homo) just for good measure.

I've done this by accident to somebody else's dorm. I thought it was my place and stuck my key in and wondered what waa going on when it didn't unlock. Turns out I was on the wrong floor and my place was directly above.

I was concerned that I may have freaked out whoever was living there, if present.

9mm beretta

shoot them

If they broke into my house I'd be woke up well before by my autistic Schnauzer doing it's whole guard dog thing. I'd probably call the police as I have the time from being warned and then grab the bar from my weights next to my bed, walk downstairs and hope I can scare them off. Failing that I hope I have the balls to hit him and not run like a bitch. I'd like to say I'd murder or at least fuck up the guy but I'd go to jail for that here.

...

id probably collect a few rifles when i get older, so i wouldnt have any issues here.

Baseball bat to the head and until they are unconscious and then tie them up and drive them deep into the forest leaving them butt ass naked

Is that a luger on the top? How did moe get his hands on that?

I have on several occasions gotten up in the middle of the knight, taken off my underpants and picked up my machete and just strolled around my house looking for burgulars while I'm talking to myself, just cause I heard a noise. I feel like if I act like a psycho they problably be more scared than me.

I have never had burgulars in my house though.

kek'd

>tfw i do the same thing, but i sleep naked already, and i dual wield a swiss knife and my army knife

Pity the poor bastard. My house is a deathtrap

>tfw live in state with stand your ground law
can shoot someone who looks suspicious on property
old guy shot kids ding dong ditching and faced no charges

I'm just glad too someone else do the same thing.
I'd go barehanded kinde like Bronson, but I'm a manlet so that would intimidate anyone.

I meant kinda

Move

I have a shotgun so I'd probably just use that. It's loaded with bird shot/double ought buckshot, since I don't want to hit anyone in the house over with a slug on accident.

Depending on how it goes you either just aim center mass or hit them in the legs. And that is dependent on what your states laws are for home defense. Aiming at the chest can be considered man slaughter where I am if you can't prove you had the intent to flee, and if in that case you aim below the waist it becomes assault w/deadly weapon instead of manslaughter.

Now if your back was against the wall and they were within a certain proximity you could claim self defense and probably be fine. Shit was simpler when I was in Vegas.

You can buy rifles when you're 18. Underage b&

grab my machete. if the guy has a gun just say fuck it he can take it i guess unless he REALLY leaves himself open. like asking for it tier.

is there any reason you couldn't just murder him and dispose of the body? seems unlikely someone would come looking for him at your house, unless there's accomplices but they'd be too afraid of exposing themselves to go to the cops surely

just hypothetically of course haha

The two that survived were charged with murder, breaking and entering and weapons possession charges. The third one I found out was caught running across a field by the helicopter. the one who hit his head was in the hospital for a week.

I always thought that after something like that I'd be the tough guy "sleep-like-a-baby" type and never think about it again.

When he drove off with the cats and I went back inside and stepped over the blood on the carpet I lost it. I collapsed on the kitchen floor and sobbed like a bitch.

I dunno if it was the realization of how close I came to getting shot, killing someone, or what. The thing that kept going through my head was that I could have been taken from my man or he could have gotten taken from me.

It could have gone down so many different ways and I couldn't handle it.

Took me quite a while to process everything and get my head back on straight. And no. I didn't sleep like a baby for a good while.

Maybe I'm not reading your story correctly but why were they charged for murder?

if i'm not mistaken, in some states if someone dies while committing a crime, the survivors are charged with murder.

i'd pull one of my guns out and shoot someone in the face if they came in my house, even if i do live in liberal fucking maryland.

In our jurisdiction if anyone engaged in the commission of a felony crime dies, then all parties committing that crime are charged with that person's death as a Murder charge.

That sounds awful to me, I believe you should be able to defend yourself but goddamn that doesn't sound like freedom to me. The men should be charged for what they did, they broke into your house with weapons.

I really want to understand the reasoning behind it, murder is a serious crime and shouldn't be attached to someone if they didn't kill another man.
Good on you for defending yourself though, I like the idea of white-trash breaking into a gay couple's house thinking they will be easy targets and instantly being blown the fuck out.

Shoot their ass

>I believe you should be able to defend yourself but goddamn that doesn't sound like freedom to me

It's a common law theory called the "felony murder rule". Essentially that when a person dies directly as a result of the commission of a felony, then all people in commission of that felony are being held responsible for that person's death.

Someone died. Their actions, the commission of a robbery, led directly to someone's death. Whether that death was a victim, an innocent bystander, or the criminal, a person DIED.

Think of it this way.

Two guys go out and rob a house. A homeowner is shot and killed. The criminals are charged with murder along with other charges.

Now two guys go and rob another house. The homeowner shoots and kills one of the robbers. Obviously the homeowner isn't responsible for the death of the criminal, who is? the other robber who helped the deceased.

why do you have ketchup on your pants

I don't care about responsibility I care about what someone physically did.
If that's truly the case I'm a murderer and a rapist because I could have done things to save some of the people closest to me.
I honestly don't know what's up the ass of everyone who is obsessed with the idea that SOMEONE has to be punished, the persons responsible for the death are both the robbers and the shooter but the living robber's only misdeed was burglary.

I understand the logic behind the law, I just don't understand emotions behind it.

It's this crazy concept in which society has created a deterrent for performing illegal activities by attaching a punishment for said action. When people in the community find out that performing said illegal activities results in that punishment they will be less inclined to go through with felonious actions. More punishment means it becomes more of a deterrent.

I'm being facetious here but you get the point. Don't fucking break into someones house, especially with weapons if you don't want to deal with the repercussions and consequences.

You wouldn't believe what thieves would do to get 'justice'. My grandparents told me that about three young kids (8-12) would go around the neighbourhood offering to help people carry their groceries into their house. They did for this old guy in a wheelchair because he needed the help or something. Two nights later they broke into his house and (somehow) knew where all the valuables were. They ended up stealing his computer or something, the next day the police came around and sent the old guy to prison because of all he child porn on his computer. The kids that stole the computer got off completely free.
-not saying that it's ok to have cp but they should've gotten int a bit of trouble

Still makes absolutely no sense how people can be okay with such a law.
Attaching a punishment to someone who didn't do that crime might deter people from doing lesser crimes but it doesn't even sound like you live in a just society.

Just bothers me how people are so quick to fuck people over, my father was in a car accident years ago and the entire family wanted to have the man who crashed into him be fucked for life. It was his fault but there is no good to come of imprisoning a man if it won't stop him from doing it in the future.

I know recently I heard about a story about a girl that drove a few men to a house where they went in to steal shit. They got shot and she went in for murder, I'm assuming she's not the type of person to kill someone in cold blood so I don't want her in prison for that, I want her in prison for being an accessory to a break-in.

Ramble over, thanks for explaining to me about that law though.

It's a matter of culpability. Who was responsible for them being in a situation in which they could be killed? The home owner or the accomplices? It's undoubtedly the accomplices to the crime, in no way was the homeowner inviting them to have bodily harm inflicted upon themselves. When you think about it from the idea of which parties bear more responsibility for the scenario to come to fruiting it makes more sense. It boils down to would their accomplice been killed unless they had convinced the other party to aid and abet in robbery. And the answer is undoubtedly no. By participating they actively led to the situation in which the person was killed by premeditating and committing a felony. That is in itself just. They created a situation in which they bear the most responsibility for the death of the other party.

Holy shit. Did he get a shot off or anything? Is that why you freaked out? What was the fallout?

Wisconsin here. We have castle law. If anyone forcibly breaks into your home you have the right to shoot them dead.

My best friend killed himself because his girlfriend said she wanted to marry him, he proposed and she said she would never marry him.
Another close friend wanted to hang out but instead I decided to stay home and masturbate, while out he decided to try some hard shit which I would have not allowed him to do, nor would he have tried, if I was there. The result was him overdosing.

There is responsibility that falls on both her shoulders and mine. To me though a "murderer" is someone who kills someone else. Killing someone and having the responsibility of someone's death are different things. If I invite someone to rockclimb with me and they fall I am not a murderer.

Again, I have no idea why people believe that the law should have play in these ambiguous circumstances.

They're crabs you fuck

I have plenty of rifles, shotguns, and pistols, but my glock 19 is my bedside gun so I'd probably use that. Mogadishu drill to all the bad guys involved obviously. Idc if I get put away for it it would look totally badass.

I disagree, maybe they are stealing something that could ruin my life, like my car if that's all I have.
In the end, it should be up to me and not society to decide how much their life is worth, since they violated the NAP.

I also have really bad style :/

At most the actions of the guilty party are reckless so maybe murder shouldn't be the charge, manslaughter for sure though because malice wasn't considered the implicit intention but it still stands that the guilty were more responsible for the death of their peer than the homeowner. Reckless behavior is what the point of this is. The situations you bring up don't bear directly to the outcome. The first was the actions of your friend regardless of influence, in the second you were a non participant not an active part in committing a crime or had pushed for your friend to do harder drugs. You had no duty to act.

That's what makes it different. Your situations you stated unfortunately have no direct bearing on this conversation. In the case of people committing a felony they are directly involved in the situation which brings about the end result. Now it might be different if you were WITH your friend and didn't stop them but you weren't there at all. Is the fiancee a terrible bitch in the first one? Yes. But she didn't actively commit murder or endanger the other individual by stating she no longer had romantic feelings. It's shitty but she isn't any more responsible if any one else commits suicide only if she actively pushed him to suicide through speech or action would she be culpable.

I hope you see a pattern here. Duty of action, direct involvement and culpability are what determines punishment.

>Did he get a shot off or anything?
I honestly didn't think so. I had both hands on the gun and ready to lift. When I saw him there and moving I fired. From the time I was five years old to my mid twenties I did competition shooting including shit like quick draw. We grew up in the country (gun nut family).

I broke down when I got back in the house and saw the blood. Could have been mine or the bf's and I think that's what freaked me out the most was the possibility that I could have lost him.

It turns out that the guy DID get a shot off and I had no idea until I walked back down the hall to get my knife to cut up the carpet and I saw the red arrow and yellow tape on our bedroom door pointing at a bullet hole.

>What was the fallout?
For me? absolutely nothing. Appeared in court as a witness for the prosecution. Asked me
>identify the defendant that I saw
>to recount what happened to the court
>prosecution passes off with no more questions
>defense asks me something along the lines of "You said you removed their weapons and tossed them down the hall"
>"I said I removed HIS gun from HIS waistband while he was incapacitated. The one that I shot I was able to kick the gun down the hall from his hand."
>"At this time we have no more questions your honour but reserve the right to recall the witness."
>"Granted, you may step down Mr Ymous"

I'd shoot them. I have either a handgun or shotgun hidden in every room.

Also my two boxers (dogs) are both 70lb monsters and hate black people.

Tell that nigger he's about to become the next Trayvon Martin while cocking my assault rifle.

Honestly the biggest hassle was the news.
They kept ringing the door bell and knocking. and interviewing the neighbors for hours on end.

The last news van didn't pull away until like 9pm, I guess trying to wait me out.

Went and stayed with the bf's mother for a week until the neighbors confirmed the news crews had stopped coming around. Then when the D.A. released that they weren't going to charge me the news crews showed up for two more days.

And of course the mother was on tv "day shot muh boi! day shot him, he dint do nuffin to deserve dis he a gud boi"

Are you from Aus? Its so fucking shit here
An elderly bread and breakfest dude had to pay something like 180k to the attacker who broke into his place since he couldn't move his sick wife. He couldnt get his bedridden wife out so he resorted to knocking the attacker out instead.

Anyway, I would reccomend really fucking loud alarms, its really all you can do.
The number of somalians is constantly growing in melb so i'm sure as they get more confident and start the murders laws should change though.

>I don't care about responsibility
then you'll never understand law

>then you'll never understand law
I really don't think I ever will.
If the majority of people are fine with it then I guess I shouldn't get too butthurt about it, but I'm never going to be able to comprehend the obsession with punishment people have.

were they black?

Also, good for you, to be able to defend yourself and loved ones. I'm kinda scared that I might freeze and be useless in a situation like this.

typical dindu lmao

Why?

>people shouldnt be held responsible for things they knowingly cause and risks they take which will affect others.
Are you a girl?

depending on where you are it can, In court, give them a basis to kill you and claim self defence.
Just like you never draw unless you're going to shoot, and you never shoot unless you're shooting to kill.
