I chased a bad guy off one time with a firearm. An officer showed and asked if my property was worth someone’s life. I said that was something the bad guy ought to think about. He asked what about my life. I told him I believed if someone could take property from me at will I was no more than a slave and we supposedly fought a war over that. I do not believe the civil war was solely or even primarily over that but I do believe it is better to be dead than to live under tyranny.
I know several policemen, troopers, etc. - you wouldn't want to go on THEIR property and start walking off with things. Ask him that question...
Spot on. If you cannot defend it, you don’t own it.
This applies to cars, wallets, purses and even your very body.
