To spell it out one more time:

Booby traps in defense of property - Morally and legally indefensible.

Personal use of lethal force in defense of property - Morally defensible, and legally defensible in some jurisdictions.

To spell it out one more time: Booby traps in defense of property - Morally and legally indefensible. Personal use of lethal force in defense of property - Morally defensible, and legally defensible in some jurisdictions.

You can spell it all you like but READ what you're spelling. If you are PERSONALLY defending in PERSON, and you are defending your property against ANOTHER PERSON, then there is a mix of self-defense (because there are TWO PERSONS THERE!) and defense-of-property.

My hypo attempts to logically separate the two principles. You want to blur them, for obvious reasons.
