I agree with your thinking Pat. However, this discussion started with folks being challenged on their own property. We men tend to be very protective of our place and our people. I've had my place broken into and robbed. That changed my feelings. The security cams have continued to show strangers in my driveway up to the house in the night. The Sheriff has not solved the issue, having all my evidence. The county has had drug punks kill people in their home in a robbery. That all adds up to me not feeling very flexible if I find intruders. I prefer to avoid conflict and would hope to be able to give them the opportunity to turn around, but only so far I'll go before the 44mag would take over.
