Simply put, if the invader is immobilized and no longer a threat, but you continue to beat them, it's not self-defence anymore, it's vengeance. That's the law in Canada and I'm okay with that.

    So, you must not let the adrenaline flow to help you out, got it. I am not a very large man (was an even smaller kid) compared to the average, I have been victimized many times. When I did win a fight in grade school, I almost chocked the kid out completely, he didn't get up right away when I did finally come back to myself, after he hit me once I only saw black shapes in a red haze I had no idea what I had done. I got in shit, he who started it got to leave with no punishment. So yeah... sure

    Where did I say guns? If I had a gun I wouldn't have been in the seeing red space, he woulda had a hole in him, one hole more than factory. I don't own guns (for obvious reasons) and don't want one personally, I like our gun laws, I don't like our legal system as there is no justice for the wronged. If the intruder survives their idiocy then they should be punished. If you break into someone's house you are a threat to their existence and should be dealt with accordingly, if they leave when confronted then they leave, if not they deserve everything they get until you regain control.
