[Hot Tabasco]

would you refrain from shooting if you saw that the intruder was drunk?

If all the guy had on was his underwear and he was raiding my fridge, I'd let him take what he can find. I can always buy more bread and beer......

I won’t second guess the homeowner, but letting a thief, drunk or not, have your stuff without some sort of severe consequence is not the right answer.

I’d say his life or death depends on his mode of entry. If someone busts down the door, he’s as good as dead - drunk or not. If he stumbles into an unlocked door that’s a different story.

And you may as well throw out the butter. No telling what he did with that....
