Household items you might use to thwart an intruder.

I'm not sure of the laws in Tennessee.

All I know is if someone was breaking in and attempted to hurt me Daniel would kill them.

I would use my tomatoes spread out in my entire house, so when the bad guy leasts expects it, they attack.

And in the end, the love you take

I'm with you on this one.
It's absolutely rediculous that people can get in trouble for self defence.
You have every right to scare the intruder off in any way.
.
Criminals are given too much sympathy, like one case I heard.
A man was breaking into someone's house through the skylight,
he fell and broke his leg and then successfully sued the homeowner.
What madness is that?
And another, I don't remember it exactly, but it went along the lines of:
a late teen-early tweny year old girl's ex-boyfriend
came to the girl's house when the family was out in the yard.
He grabbed the girl and, from what I understand, tried to kidnap her.
The girl's dad chased the guy with a bat or something.
The dad was charged with "assault with a deadly weapon."
A man came onto his property and tried to take his daughter!
What do they expect him to do?!
It really ticks me off.
Oh, and the girl's ex didn't get in trouble : emotion_facepalm :
.
If anyone broke into my house, I'd hit them with whatever I could reach,
and if I got in trouble for it, I would fight that case with all I had.

Is equal to the love you make.

I honestly thought that skylight story involved the guy getting cut on some kitchen knives he landed on or around, and won the case... Either way, it's still ridiculous, especially considering it was his fault.

I'm totally with ya Strideo. I'm gonna get out whatever I can get my hands on and whack away.

And in the end, the love you take

It probably did, I can't remember exactly.

Is equal to the love you make.

I would beat the living crap out of any intruder with anything I can find around me, whether it be a chair, a frying pan or my brother's baseball ball. I'll worry about legal stuff after the b*****d is out cold and I'm safe.

Meh, either way, still enfuriating. I'm sure your version has happened in some fashion somewhere. Not really impossible. 3nodding It makes you wonder though... Are those judges getting bribed by criminals to let them go? Are they taking those offers if they're given, or are they clsoe friends with the criminals that get away with this crap?

I believe here in Texas, the rule is if they are more that 50% inside your home or past the threshold, you can incapacitate them if you are a man, or kill them if you're a woman...or kil them and blame it on your wife/girlfriend or sister. smile

50% inside...as in half their body is inside of your house? Makes no sense.

If they're body is more in your house than it is outside, it's 50%+ in there.

That's the way to go if you ask me. You can't worry about the legal stuff if you're dead. Also if they did something really bad to you and you survive knowing you did everything the "legal" way it would be no consolation.

Yeah, a clean record and a life threatening injury really isn't what people should be going for in terms of safety.
