The subject is it, folks. That's the Tweet.

I'd like to say my house, but I don't own a gun, so I guess not. I would beat someone invading my house if I had to, but that isn't about the actual house but the people inside of it.

I'm not talking about protecting your castle, i.e., your real property. I don't own a gun either. I'm not opposed to owning one, I just happen not to. Whenever I have to kill a man, I always do it with fists or close-range, old-school weapons. Really makes one reflect on things.

I can't think of a single piece of personal property I own that is worth the use of deadly force to prevent the theft of. (Leaving aside intangible personal property, such as my vast crypto holdings.) Maybe my feline friend, but even so I'd be like, "Did you really break in just to kill my rough ridin' cat, that I already don't like?!"

i'd probably kill a human to protect my dog, if i could gather my wits about me in time to process everything.

i mean, i wouldn't want to go to jail for it, so it'd have to be situation where i thought i wouldn't.

You wouldn’t. I’d be that kind of lawyer for you.

Nothing I own is worth deadly force that isn't insured.

I don't think I would use deadly force just to protect property. If I was concerned that a person in or on my property couldn't be protected from harm or death without use of deadly force, I would use deadly force.

If I found a burglar in my house I fully intend to tell them to just grab what looks good.

Do you have anyone in your life (not in the military, Secret Service or police) who spends hundreds of hours and tens of thousands of dollars maintaining peak readiness for a potential armed confrontation with a home invader or carjacker?

Currently, nothing. But in a week, I may change my stance.

I have a pan I'm really fond of that I cook my eggs in.. I could get a little hot under the collar over that.
