[QUOTE="ricco, post: 3748239, member: 46005"] If you are going to resist criminals because you think it make the world a better place, it wont. Crime and criminals have always been with us and as long as flawed humans run the world criminals will always be with us. If you are going to resist criminals over money or property it will almost always cost you more than what is being stolen. Consider legal fee's alone, if you resist with violent force, any type of violent force, you will be arrested and held until the police can sort out what happened. If you talk to the police without a lawyer being present you are ignorant of the criminal justice system, after being involved in a violent incident the police don't even talk to the police without a lawyer being present. Just having a criminal defense attorney present at questioning can run into the thousands of dollars. Let's say you do engage the unarmed thieves with a firearm and at some point you pull the trigger keep in mind that trained and qualified LEO's miss almost 70% of their shots fired, an untrained person who has no experience dealing with criminals probably won't do better. Are you prepared for the civil and possible legal consequences of missed shots hitting where you hadn't intended. Using deadly force against an unarmed person will almost always result in charges being filed, disparity of force notwithstanding.
