[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have guns and will shoot intruders as it is our god given right to kill them as per VA law[/quote]

I can't tell if you're serious or just pretending to be a troll, so I won't address your god nonsense.  Either way, just seek help

Self defense is however a basic human right, not afforded everyone in this world. We are fortunate enough to be able to exercise that right if needed.  You can steal a car or vandalize my property I don't care. But when you attempt a forced entry into my home, you've met the threshold for a response.  Especially since I have no idea what your intentions are when you are kicking at my door.  I'm not taking the chance that he is just popping in to take a couple pairs of sneakers or my TV.[/quote]
VA has the “castle doctrine” which explicitly allows for the use of deadly force to protect self, residence and loved ones on your property. However use of deadly force must be reasonable.

Guns blazing at a forcible entry as they come through the door would probably be considered reasonable, unless it was the cops executing a no-knock warrant. Then you’re screwed. [/quote]

I would never blindly discharge my firearm (shooting through the door or anything). If the intruder complied, no threatening movements or advances toward me. He would be allowed to turn around and run away or he can lay on his stomach and wait for me to call the police. I do agree about the "no knock" warrants.  I don't like them even when preformed on actual criminals/fugitives.  It leads to unnecessary death and injury to the occupants of the home, neighbors, also the police themselves.

Whenever someone post in glee about shooting someone or wanting to, they are full of sh*t and can be dismissed as a troll. If you're a lawful gun owner, hold your self to a higher standard.
