But what's not clear is what someone's intentions are when they break into your house. You aren't going to know if that home intruder is armed or not. Any home invader is a potential threat. But it's clear we're going to have to agree to disagree because nothing is being accomplished in this argument.

Yeah cause stealing is a big part of personal responsibility. If someone breaks into someone's house, whatever happens to the criminal is on them. Also are you trying to tell me that homeowners have never been killed by home invaders before?

And what if they catch you witnessing them stealing and they pull a gun on you? If someone breaks into your house, you don't know what that person is capable of. Just because someone is committing a non-violent crime doesn't mean they aren't willing to switch over to violence. If someone already worked up the courage to break into someone's house, there's a good chance they're willing to resort to harming innocent people.

Civilized people also don't break into people's houses and steal cars.

The law needs to change then. People shouldn't have to sit back and watch someone steal from them in their own homes.

So if someone breaks into your home you're just gonna be ok with it?

While the police enforce the law, they don't seem to have a good grasp on the law. Lawyers have a much better understanding of the law.

Duty to retreat doesn't sound that good. What if escaping is the wrong choice that ends up getting the victim killed vs. the victim fighting back if the victim is able to fight back?

Could be a good time to contact a lawyer.

Reply to comment by catscatscatsohmy in hi all, my nj family care kicks in 1/2023. I just started a new job at 18/hr last week. After 3 months at work they will offer me health insurance. I have no dependants and am a single female home owner. I don't think I'll be able to afford my house bills if I was to accept my jobs health insurance by catscatscatsohmy
On the NJ FamilyCare letters I receive, it says you need to notify them as soon as your income changes.

Someone probably wrote their ex's number there for revenge or something. Or could be someone pranking their friend.

Reply to comment by SierraSeaWitch in Any advice on my ex bf’s ex wife who keeps contacting me and harassing me? Even after I filed a harassment complaint at my local police dept. officer contacted her and told her to stay away and not make contact. She has continued. What can I do next? by enabed
Then what are you supposed to do if you have a stalker who hasn't lived with you? Are you just screwed?

I know what happened in the article. But not every home invasion is the same. My point is a person should be allowed to defend themselves and their property and I think the law should be changed so that it is legal to defend your own property as well.
