He then asked if I was willing to shoot someone over my xbox.
I told him, "The xbox was besides the point. We are talking about a person intruding into my house at night with my family present. Hell yes, I'd shoot him. It's the principle of the thing. I'd shoot a hole in my xbox without blinking to do it."
For real. I would gladly buy a new Xbox if I destroyed it in the process of killing a home invader. That's what insurance is for anyway. You don't invade someone's home. You cannot read a home invader's mind. Maybe they want your shoes. Maybe they want to murder your entire family. There's no point in second guessing. They are a violent aggressor. And they are armed. And if you were only to scare them off, there's no promise they won't come back with friends as an act of petty revenge.
