<p>That’s assuming the thief was armed and dangerous.</p>
<p>So you are saying, if a thief came into your house, you wouldn’t brandish a weapon for protection just in case he attacks you?</p>
<p>What do you recommend that I do huh? Sit there while he steals my stuff (again) and potentially invade my inner sanctuary where my housemates, friends, and family are open and vulnerable to attack?</p>
<p>I guess you have never been in a situation where you became threatened and felt the need to be safe from attack.</p>
<p>It is too easy to point fingers and say “what if” in these types of situation. </p>
<p>You act with your safety in mind first, then the safety of your housemates. It’s because you don’t know if the thief has a gun or not that you bring out a badass weapon like a samurai sword to protect you.</p>
