71-year-old american shoots Internet cafe robbers

[Gandalf]

What would you do if someone bursts through your door with a gun threatening to kill you and your family. This guy is serious business. You do not own a gun, what do you do? If you do not act soon, this guy will kill you and your family.

So, what do you do?

What reason would he have to do that?
As for the answer, I already gave in another topic. Disarm him and transfer to the police, after explaining he accidentally hit the door 20 times...

Impossible to occur with me as I do not live in America.

A bit more subtle would do...

Attempting to disarm him is like Russian roulette, and would be taking a deadly risk.

That depends on your knowledge.

[Alsatian]

That depends on your knowledge.

Even with the knowledge, it is still a huge risk.

[Salmonella]

That depends on your knowledge.

It depends on the person that's robbing, and the person that's being robbed. If a fully loaded gun is being pointed towards me, I wouldn't try to run towards it.

Without proper trainin that would indeed not be advised.

I didn't try to be offensive but I don't know why someone in my living place would randomly storm my house and point a gun at me.

Only in Russia

You see, what if this guy was just a maniac with no intention of robbing you. He was just out to spill blood. Now what do you do? Call the police? To late, he already killed you. Attempt to disarm him? Nope, you just got shot from 15 feet away.

Remember, legal guns are very rarely used in crimes. Most guns used in crimes are illegal weapons obtained in illegal ways.

Police can not always protect you. It takes time for them to respond and by then, your whole family could be killed and the guy could leave.

Again, I don't see why that maniac would storm MY house and aim at ME instead of the other X amount of people living in my street.
And what if you had a gun? Got time to unholster it and make it fire ready before shooting? No, you do not.

Remember, legal guns are very rarely used in crimes. Most guns used in crimes are illegal weapons obtained in illegal ways.

Use of legal weapons only stimulates the use of illegal weapons.
Everyone wants to "protect" themselves, whether it's legal or not.

Keep the door locked?
Also camera surveillance would help.

Everyone drop your guns and start learning yo

Who knows, this guy's a maniac.
A gun should be kept in a dresser, nightstand, etc. for easy reach for when you believe someone in breaking in.
Use of legal weapons aid police against illegal weapons.

That maniac would first have to somehow breach the flat's door, and then my door.
There shouldn't be guns in the first place, as;
Use of legal weapons only increase use of illegal weapons.

Guns are neither bad nor good. In Switzerland, you're almost commanded to have a gun in your home, yet their crime rate is as low as it can be. It's about culture, Swiss people are known for being civilized and respectful, while Americans it's the complete opposite, I am not saying Americans are disrespectful, but the United States is known for being self-centered, and that is seen in people's attitudes.

It seems no one was carrying in that theater. If someone was, and they could get a good couple of shots off, the shooting wouldn't have happened easily.
