Re: Would you kill a man who\'s robbing you? (long)
With no experience of this sort of thing whatsoever, but with the way I feel about burglars and similar, I'd say I'd have no problem shooting the guy dead. The knife definitely tips it that way for me. If I sense any sort of potential for harming me or mine, I would shoot, I'm certain. (PS. I've had knives pulled on me before in the street, so know how this feels, and I don't think I'd shoot someone for just pulling a knife - I would if it were in an isolated place with no chance of me getting help if I go down though)
However, until I've walked in your shoes, I have no idea what would really, really happen.

Re: Would you kill a man who\'s robbing you? (long)
I don't know if I'd be able to kill him. I'd like to think that I could, but I just don't know.
Anyway, what happened to the guy? Did he get arrested? Did you get your stuff back?

They've filled up the jail cells with people caught smoking pot or crack so the real crooks can go free.

Re: Would you kill a man who\'s robbing you? (long)
I'd shoot anyone who got close to me with a knife. Most people probably don't realize how fast and easy a knife can kill you. Even holding a gun in your hand doesn't mean anything is over or that you really have control over the situation. All the more so when you're on your bed, where you have no mobility.
This is all a good argument for not having roommates, by the way. There's always some roommate who thinks scumbags are cute and invites them in for a free scope of your house. You should have at least one place safe in the world, and if you have roommates, you most definitely don't.

Re: Would you kill a man who\'s robbing you? (long)
How do you guys handle a knife pulled on ya? Here's all mine:
1) A guy pulls it out - it's a nasty-looking stilleto, he's holding it like he knows how to use it - but he's mistaken me for a bouncer(!) in a club - one of whom has taken his girl (ie she left him for this bouncer). I talked him around, that I wasn't a bouncer, we shake hands, end of drama. 2) A little turd and his gang called me 'lurch' or 'jaws' or something talking about my size while I was running, so I stopped and approached him. He pulled out a knife, but he looked like he was gonna faint. I remembered my 'warriors' (the movie), and told him to put it away or I'd stick it up his ass. He did, and said sorry. 3) A guy in the street (nutter I think) just pulled it out and started to call me every name under the sun. I backed away, and just walked around him, giving him a big space. He just ranted on, and stayed there. Ahh, just some nut.
