Sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

There's less lethal, not non-lethal... and no one is going to fire off a CS gas grenade in their house.
Also, less lethal require a lot more skill to use, cost a lot more, and have to be used at a very close range... and at close range things move fast and civilians just can't handle that.
*Edit: It's just easier, ok?

Exactly, they're not designed to kill but they can kill very easily... a headshot (like what happened) or a shot to the chest will do it with a rubber bullet. Then you get charged with failing to maintain control of the device which opens the door to the wrongful death lawsuits.
Thx but I'll stick with my .40 SXTs

Imo Jeff McGuire should be charged with murder.
He shot and killed a juvenile for attempting to break in.
The little miscreant had it coming.
Contemplate if you will.
Someone is trying to break into your house/apartment. You can't know why they are doing in - maybe they are here to rob you, maybe they are here to harm you or your family. Maybe they are here to rob you but will not hesitate to harm you or yours if they get into their way. You are going to assume the worse! And you are going to do what any sane person would do - protect you and yours. It's completely within bounds of logic.
I don't see how using deadly force in such a situation would seem unreasonable.
It also depends on who the shooter is... let's say the shooter is a 60 year old man with arthritis. That sets in your mind he is a very feeble old man that can't do anything if attacked.
On the other hand, say the shooter is a 22 year old Force Recon Marine... then yes, he used way more force than would be needed

wow its so sad to see something like that. The guy had 6 guns in his house, holy crap who needs 6 guns . The kid never even made it in the door and considering his was shot in the back of the head kind of shows he tried to run after the first shot was fired. Tbh its a travesty of justice that someone can justify using that much force to prevent a burglery.
They for deer hunting

So what about the costs when someone breaks into your house methed up, sees you, beats and ****s you, then takes your stuff.
sounds more expensive then a few 9mm rounds.
on a side note .22 rounds are ridiculously cheap, 2-3 cents
On a side-side note... .44 magnum rounds are a ton more fun

Rubber bullets are not very effective against some chav punk so high on PCP that a tazer would just energize him to stab me faster.

Criminals are not soulless, lifeless, mindless husks filled with an eternal rage against all that is good in the world, whose only rightful place is at the business end of a weapon or six feet under.
You're absolutely right, criminals also have a soft side and might be interested in other things than regular burglarizing. Like the rapists for example.
So what you're saying is that criminals are not people, they are evil incarnate in human form. I'm glad you're in touch with reality.
If there is one lesson to be learned from the internet, it is the infinite human capacity for stupidity.
They're people... people you get to shoot at then tie up in the basement and tear their fingernails off with a pair of needlenose pliers while applying tourniquets to all their exremeties to watch them die and fall off while y... nm

Regardless how or why he owned them, he apparantly felt the need to fire upon someone he could barely see or knew intentions of. It was not self-defence, he wasnt being threatened in anyway. Stop being afraid of your shadows.
A brick and a arm through the window is not being threatened now? Does somebody have to beat you in the face before you feel threatened? Like I asked before what kind of ****ed up world do you live in?
Well I already know one part of your world as you live off of daddy and the state. You have no idea what the true value of something is, yaknow, if it get lost or stolen you simply just expect someone to hand another one to you. Once you've spent some time earning something that you worked hard for, that you earned on your own accord, then I will take you seriously.
Oh and I thought you were leaving this thread, change your mind? And why did you give me an address to a cat and dog salon? Yeah, I looked.
Get out of fantasy land and join the real world. People will walk over you. It's not all roses and prancing unicorns.
Translation:
I hope you get ****d, maybe then you'll feel different

Well that's pretty stupid then. They give you the right to kill intruders, but not injure them?
Pretty much... this is what you get when the bad guy has the right to a jury

In the United States, more than a couple ounces of ********* is a felony and you'd get a much harsher reaction than you would in Holland.
The USA isn't Holland so you can take that arguement and shove it.
Smuggle in any amount of ********* into Singapore and they execute you
