I would. I don’t want cowboy vigilantes shooting down anyone they want.

And there are plenty of other people in Arlington who are ok with people defending their peop tand businesses, and odds are, at least one (or more) will be in the jury box next to you.

Boom, instant hung jury, no conviction. [/quote]

People, yes.

"Business", no.

It's called insurance FFS.

I pay insurance. I don’t like my premiums going up because claims are constantly being made by people being taken advantage of by criminals.

I’m totally ok with this clerk shooting a burglar, and no jury I’m ever on is ever going to convict someone in these circumstances. Just won’t happen. Period. [/quote]

Depends on the jurisdiction and the demographics of the store clerk and the criminal.  In DC the store clerk would be in serious trouble before a jury, particularly if the he or she is Korean-American and the thief is AA.[/quote]
