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.

Do you leave your keys under your doormat to make it safer for the criminal to steal your car?
