I am happy that I am privileged to live in a society that has abandoned
that kind of morality that probably was custom around the stone ages,
but has since experienced the advancement of civilisation.
Your society does not accept the right to defend oneself and one's
property?
If all rights descend from the government (whether that be an
absolute monarchy or a parliament), then I'd posit that no, you
don't have a right to defend home and hearth.
Did you know that many states have Concealed Carry (each time such a
law has been considered, gun control freaks wail that it will turn
the state into the Wild West, with daily OK Corral shootouts, but,
of course, that has never happened) and Shoot-The-Burglar laws? The
home invader doesn't have to threaten you, or even be armed. The
mere fact that he/she has illegally broken into your home gives you
full rights to shoot the person.
