Re: Would you kill a man who\'s robbing you? (long)
I think the situation becomes more interesting if he had a weapon hidden in a closet (or whatever).
As soon as the scumbag leaves the room you can grab it and chase after the guy, but then what? I think a fair amount of ootiots would say chase and shoot the guy if he won't stop.
Personally, if you aren't in danger anymore I don't think it is worth it. Stuff is just that, stuff. Not worth killing someone over.
Perhaps even more interesting: Same situation, but you have the gun under your bed or in a bedside drawer. If the crook says "I don't want to hurt you, I just am going to take your things and leave. Be calm, and I will be gone in two minutes." Do you go for the weapon or let him take your stuff and leave?
