Yeah, because drunk, unarmed people are such a threat, that you have to just shoot him.
As if in every other country we don't have drunks...
Especially drunk people are mostly no threat. Even my grandma always said "oh, a drunk man has no strength"
It kinda sounds hyped up and hysterical from the outside, to be honest
Edit: ah, missed that you aren't from the US. but still, you would shoot a drunk guy, just because you feel threatened?
There are so many possibilities to defend yourself, I can't see a gun to be necessary - or even justified

How am I supposed to know if someone is drunk or not?
As explained - there ar silly drunks and very aggressive drunks. The chance of this happening here is absolutely non existent and very theoretical. But yes if a very aggressive drunk is forcing his way into my home and not reacting to warnings and I determine him to be a threat to me or my family I totally would shoot him to protect my family - no question. Armed or not - - if he poses a threat the idea is not to be on the same level as him and fight fair ...
If it's just a silly non threatening drunk we can't even see straight and poses no threat obviously not. This situation is not as easy as my fellow Europeans make it out to be - guess it's just easier to flame the US.
