Nah, rules should be changed to let civilians defend our safety and property

Valuing property over human life is the problem most people are going to have with your position.

Personally I think if someone is engaging in violent crime (like, say, an armed robbery), then using lethal force is morally justified if you're unable to flee.

Ah so being a criminal means you don't have human rights, got it.

I look at it like.  I’m not  deciding my stuff is worth their life. They decided that.

Yeah I get it too. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes and all that.

I don't think criminals deserve to die, though.
