I didnt notice this but to answer your question yes. I have no doubt that if my only option is my family or my life over someone who broke into my house then they will be shot or have the hell beat out of them.
On a side note my mother called me tonight and this is the reason I brought this back up but they actually caught the guys who broke into there home. He confessed to several different break ins. He is a crackhead.
Unfortunately they did not recover any of my parents belongings but one of them described there house and its location.
