So you didn't use emotions above, yet science as you see it, is the best way to understand the world. Yeah, that is too sophisticated.

Nothing wrong with beating him off, or restraining him. Even killing him if he attacks you.
But if you shoot him just because he is burgling you, you could be found guilty of murder.
As I said it is highly unlikely a burglar would be armed or attack you in the UK, as that raises the crime to a far higher level, with much higher sentences.
However a few sadistic ones do. Usually against the elderly.
Well, the British used to be tougher on crime back in the old days, this is true. They used to burn people at the stake, boil them oil, put them to the rack. We never did anything like that in America.
The thing is, if some intruder is inside your house, you have no way of knowing if he's just burgling you. A lot of burglars tend to wait until no one is home, so there would be no chance of a confrontation with anyone living there. A burglar who breaks in to someone's home while someone is there is a more aggressive sort and presumably more dangerous.
See post #60.
A happy ending would be the wrong defense.
I don't favor shooting a burglar without warning first.
This assumes one appears to pose no physical threat.
The burglar knowingly takes that risk that the victim
could perceive a threat, or perhaps want vengeance.
If the perp dies as a result, it's a good result because
of their choice.
I oppose using boiling oil for self defense.
Same for burning at the stake....or the rack.
I prefer wits & guns.
But that's just me. I respect your right to
submit to the criminal's thefts & assaults.

Well, some of it would be legal in Denmark and some of it illegal.
Tis better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
It's never happened to me. I guess I must be lucky.

If the US was as old as the UK, we probably would have done those things too.
For some people, electronics could add an extra
level of reliability, eg, preventing others from
wrongfully using the gun. But for us, electronics
is just one more thing to fail.

No all guns are 100% reliable, You could build such a smart gun to be as reliable as guns. But to demand 100% is not possible, not even of a gun.
Your 2 facts are inconsistent.

Now learn to spot that in your own posts.
You are the master at such inconsistencies.
I can only stand in your long shadow.

Yeah, if you just could learn the is-ought problem and don't claim a "we" that is not there.
