I wouldn't shoot anyone unless they needed shooting and it was justified self defense or to defend another's life day or night. I also wouldn't dial 911 and let him walk. I agree nighttime is very different rules but I would still make sure the shot needed to be taken. That bullet cannot be put back in the case. It would be a tragedy to shoot a family member, friend, neighbor or someone in distress by not identifying the situation correctly no matter where you are. This thug would be detained for the LEO's and I doubt he could get away if he was in my truck when I got there. We do not want to become England where a criminal can cut somebodies head off while citizens stand around and do nothing. I'm the moron that runs towards problems. I can thank 2 decades of military for that bad habit!

I believe Mae West said some men just need killing. Times were much simpler when people could be counted on to back each other up.

Good debate. I would protect my property but that's just me. It's a principle thing and I will keep my principles and my Property. Let a criminal go today he kills or rapes someone tomorrow. Criminals are after all criminals. Maybe this "radar detector" criminal just hasn't found the right vehicle with the gun he was looking for. I would hate to wake up and see this guys mug shot in the news after raping or murdering someone after I just gave him a walk waiting for the cops to show up. And that murder or rape victim could be someone very close to me. Like my daughter. That would really suck.

Cheers
