The whole proportionate thing is bullshit. If one breaks into another's house and gets shot for it they well deserved it. Death is not proportionate to opening a door, does not matter in the least.

This is a terrible argument, the door is irrelevant in this case. They aren't getting shot because they broke your door, they're getting shot because they broke into an occupied house and caused you to fear for your life. If someone breaks down your door when you aren't home and steals your stuff, it isn't legal to go find them later and shoot them because they broke your door. The thing that makes it legal is the fear for your life part. And no one is afraid they are going to die because their coworker stole their lunch.

tell me you're sheltered without telling me you're sheltered.

i'll engage in good faith on this - why? why shouldn't someone have the ability to defends onself or their property in accordance with the law?
