Comment: No, just some woman got the crap scared out of her. That wasn't injurous at all, I'm sure.

Statistically, people who are at home during a burglary have a high chance of being injured or killed and that chance increases significantly if they are NOT armed. Having a gun and knowing how to use it (which this woman clearly did not) significantly increases your chance of survival.

I'm sorry the burglar wasn't hurt, because he'll spend a few years in jail and be out doing this again soon. He probably won't even be charged with the appropriate crime ... which should be attempted murder.

When someone burglarizes a house when people are home, they signal their desire to kill those they find within those walls. This is why it's legal to shoot an intruder, because they have signaled that your life is meaningless to them and in doing so they have ceded their own right to life. No criminal in the act of potentially taking another's life has a right to be protected from the consequences.
