Why do people think it's okay to keep trying to rob me?

Castle Laws, as such, vary dramatically from country to country and are even different from state to state inside the U.S.. Generally speaking, Keld is correct within the bounds of most of the states (and in Texas a neighbor famously shot to death an unarmed burglar running away from someone else's house and IIRC wasn't even charged), but in the U.K. for example, it's an entirely different story.

Do you mean Joe Horn? Because he shot unarmed burglars leaving the house with stolen property; Texas law expressly permits the use of force to protect property. Had they been retreating following a confrontation, and not taking property with them, his actions probably would have been criminal.

Well, aren't you not allowed to own fire arms in the UK to begin with? I thought they were famous for being one of the first developed nations to do that.

I'm pretty sure you can own shotguns in the UK.
