Now if they did i wouldnt hesistate, but they had crowbars please. Shotgun>3 crowbars.
So wait, as long as the person robbing you is not armed, you do not shoot them?

Let me ask you this: how do you determine if they are not armed?

Do you ask them? Do you wait to see their guns? How do you make that determination? Just because you can't "see" the gun doesn't mean that it isn't there. I carry a pistol on me most of the time and nobody can "see" it exposed.
