I also believe without a doubt that you can defend yourself, but if the "peaceful protesters" break down the gate to your community and you draw your weapon to protect your property, You are going to spend a sizable amount of your pension & your wife's salary defending yourself in court.

To understand what is going on in Latin American countries you need to look at our involvement starting with Bastista, then Torrijos, then Noriega and all the other right-wing military governments installed to stop the growth of a so-called communism. Everyone of these self-serving leaders lined their pockets with aid money from the US, with not one dime going to the people. I lived in Honduras in the 70s, a country that Standard Brands and Dole have been in for over a 100 years. Do they do anything for the people of the country...NO. When I got there Honduras had 29 miles of paved roads. The military was killing priests and saying they were giving people “communist” thoughts, think about that, true communists are atheists. Last year Central America was hit with two huge hurricanes destroying thousands of homes, leaving people homeless. The US is their only hope!
