i voted "else"...
...if i know for a fact that the thief is unarmed (including any car-jacking equipment that can double as a weapon), then i would have to say that i do not have the right to shoot AND kill him. i do reserve the right to shoot him though :biggrin:...say, in the knee cap so he knows what pain is, AND it'll keep him immobile long enough for the cops to arrive and take it from there. BUT, i would have to be absolutely 100% sure that the thief is unarmed...and without super human powers like X-ray vision or psychic powers, it stands to reason that i could never be 100% positive that the thief is unarmed. therefore a bullet in the head is perfectly reasonable...especially if you care about your car as much as i do
...no i didn't read through this thread...so no, i did not consider all the possible scenarios. suffice it to say that i'll respectfully agree to disagree with anyone who would handle the situation otherwise...
