I would agree.  Check a previous post I made to this thread on my real 
answer.  I wouldn't shoot a human being unless I or someone else was
in immediate, mortal danger.

This NG has gotten so silly that I've been drawn into the sillyness
myself.  I'm not treating the topic seriously anymore.

In real life, there are extreme psychological consequences involved in 
shooting someone.  I am only willing to face those consequences under
extreme duress.  An unarmed burgeler is not a threat if I have my gun
pointed at him.  Not when he has empty hands or my VCR.  I will simply 
detain him and call 911.  I can operate a phone one handed without
looking at it.  I am quite confidant that I can detain someone who
isn't mortaly stupid or crazy until the police arrive.
