Even in the United States it is generally not legal in most jurisdictions to use deadly force to prevent property crimes.

Most thieves are dumb. They come armed. All you have to look for is a minor threat, and you can show them some business.

By that definition, what are the free places in the world then? Because a very, very minority of them allow stuff to possess higher value than a human life.

You should look into positive freedom vs negative freedom for a starter.

In America, that would be everyone’s own house plus every dark place where a phone may look like a gun plus every place where a thief comes armed, plus every place where the thief exercises violence and you fear for your life, to start.
