Indeed. What is your life worth? When someone steals from you, they rob you of the time you worked to aquire the thing they stole. They rob from you the portion of your life lost to stress and anxiety over the theft. They literally steal a portion of your life from you when they steal your property.

You do make an interesting point there, this is a decision that everyone here must make for himself. However I've got to agree with seamusTX on this one (not because anyone's wrong here, but because of the PERSONAL CHOICE I made when I bought my first firearm), I will only fire a weapon to protect human life. If someone's breaking into my house, they are a threat to my family. If someone's breaking into my truck in the driveway, I'll arm myself for protection and call the S.O. Yes I've lost the time and effort put into paying for that truck and it's contents, but at least all the money I've paid to the insurance company will finally be put to use. Maybe an odd way of looking at it, but that's the way I see it.
