I'm not a huge fan of US self defence laws, particularly given the high killed by gun rate, but if anybody tries to burgle me/steal my XT, I would probably make an attempt at 'shock & awe' or similar. Surely if someone tries to steal my sh*t they deserve everything that's thrown at them?? After all, our hard-pressed police force wouldn't be allowed/be able to do anything anyway. I'm not promoting vigilantism, but when it comes to your own home & personal, har earned stuff....
