Don't worry, I'm not stooooopid and I do use reasonable caution— it's a lot cheaper than fortification and easier on my spirit.
I just don't want another's blood on my hands for any reason.

There have been quite a few home invasions in the Phoenix metro area recently which resulted in the home owner being killed. Most of the invasions seem to be done by druggies and all areas, rich and poor, have been hit.
If someone came into my house, I would do anything I could to protect myself and would not feel guilty in the least if the intruder goes out of my house bagged and feet first.
I am a very nice person, but I do plan to take care of myself as best as I can. We can't all have a trained Marine on the premises.
