What ever happened to a mans home is his castle.  When I am in my
home with the doors lock (or unlocked) I have the right to feel safe
and free from the dangers some people present to myself and my family.
It really doesn't matter who it is crawling in my window in the middle
of the night.  I just pray that I am never faced with the decision to
shoot a 12 year old.  I have seen quite a few 12 year olds that are
bigger than I am.  Some more than willing to inflict damage to me
or my loved ones.  People don't seem to value the reasonable
desire for their home to be free from fear inflicted by others.  Wheather
it be burglery or home invasion.
