here's a couple examples of break in's gone wrong, for all those saying these incidents are "no big deal" and nothing to be scared of. This is why people reach for weapons and are willing to be aggressive in confronting an intruder, and why for me, the homeowners reaction has to be overtly beyond defense before i'd support seeing them jailed for murder or manslaughter. innocent people should not be expected to take that risk.
Perfect examples of how silly it is to think people forcing their way into your home are generally harmless and just want your things.
