Do you believe that petty-theft is a shootable offense?

There must be a line between a starving child stealing bread and an armed vault heist. Where is the line where it becomes okay to start blasting?

Usually in places where guns are disabled the third option is robber robs you and gets away. As a specific American band would sing "Sad but true".

Very rare for anyone to have any kind of gun here . The thieves had knives
