Question

Dilbert broke into Anne’s jewelry store at night, while Anne was still on the premises. When Anne heard the display cases being broken:

a)Anne has the right to use a gun to shoot Dilbert in the back to protect her property.

b)Anne has the right to use a gun to shoot Dilbert to protect the jewelry; however she only has the right to shoot him in an arm or leg, not at his head or chest.

c)Anne does not have the right to use a gun to shoot Dilbert to protect the jewelry.

Answer 1

Answer C- Anne doesn't have the right to use a gun to shoot Dilbert to protect the jewelry.

Explanation - No law allows the use of weapon to protect any kind of property . Use of weapon is unlawful and to be used only in the self defence . As far as Self defence is concerned it should always be proportionate to the threat , it should not exceed the threat . To make it simpler ,  if Dilbert is threatening Anne by using weapon, she has the right to use weapon but in the given situation use of weapon by Gilbert is not mentioned. Therefore 'C' is the right answer.
