Imagine A 'Night Watchman Defense Law' To Stop Street Pirates Who Ransack Stores After Hours?

I just posted on x: 'Imagine a specific 'night watchman defense law' where an armed merchant, employee or security officer could use deadly force to stop after hours forcible entry & burglary.

Now imagine it in all or most of the fifty states. Alarm systems aren't enough anymore.

I'd like to add armed witnesses to the list of those authorized to use deadly force to stop a store burglary, but I'm sure counter arguments would be the potential for error is too great, etc.

Still, something to consider as street pirates swoop down on closed establishments.'

This 'flash mob'/group looting trend needs to become a thing of the past or it will drive proprietors out of business or out to areas where public pillaging isn't allowed.

Eventually there will be nowhere left to run.
