In some countries the laws are so stupid, you can't even shoot an unarmed attacker in your home. Somebody jumps your fence, smashes the window, gets inside and starts going through your stuff, you wake up, grab a pistol you have a permit for and shoot, you go to jail. Crazy, right?

Hi, I'm Dutch. When someone robs my house I am supposed to calmly sit down, request the burglar to stop being so mean and call police. If I hurt the burglar in any way I am guilty for assault. Welcome to the "free" west.

I hear that burglars often hurt themselves robbing houses. Probably because they don't know where things are. They trip and fall. They open a closet and things fall on their heads. It is so sad.

And then they sue you for damages. I read about a burglar who tried to jump over a spiked fence and ended up impaling himself. He sued the owner for not making the fence safe enough. Apparently the spikes have to be placed high enough so they're unreachable from the ground or something Undecided
