Well, we probably are doomed, but not for that reason.ANOTHER KID KILLED BY AN EVIL GUNNER. WE ARE DOOMED.
Yup. And it made me smile.ANOTHER KID KILLED BY AN EVIL GUNNER. WE ARE DOOMED.
You prefer, then, that innocent homeowners become the ones killed instead of the vicious little shits that break into innocent people's homes?ANOTHER KID KILLED BY AN EVIL GUNNER. WE ARE DOOMED.
Uh, sorry, dude. Someone illegally enters your house while you're home you can shoot them. WTF are you supposed to do, invite them to tea and ask them not to hurt you?? Not gonna happen. The last thing an intruder will hear at my house is a loud bang.IF A COP SHOOTS AN UNARMED CRIMINAL ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE. THEY ARE FIRED AND POSSIBLE CHARGES BROUGHT. HOMEOWNER SHOOTS UNARMED CRIMINAL AND NOTHING HAPPENS? I DONT GET THE DOUBLE STANDARD.

Sitting here calmly assessing the situation without any present danger to myself, I would say "wait until I see who opens the door before shooting".I understand you passion about this, but let me ask you this......
You have a gun that was passed down to you by you Father, along with some ammunition (doesn't matter what type of gun).
You are upstairs and some people break in. You call the cops ad they are on the way. before the cops make it, they have made it
upstairs, and are almost in your room, where you, your wife, and the gun are located.
You hear your doorknob turn meaning they are coming in, but you don't hear any sign of the cops..........
What would you do???????? Would you shoot or would you die?
simple question,
Sitting here calmly assessing the situation without any present danger to myself, I would say "wait until I see who opens the door before shooting".
But I could see someone (perhaps even myself) in that stressful state hyped up on adrenaline, blasting away at the door before identifying who/what is coming in and what their intentions may be.
I don't see any other way that plays out. I either identify a criminal in my house and shoot him, or I just blast whoever is behind door #1. Perhaps it's a policeman or concerned neighbor, but most likely not. I don't have kids or a dog, so if the wife is with me and someone else is in the house, odds are 99.9999% it's a criminal.
I'm still working out how to get them back. I turned them loose briefly so radioactive couldn't count them when he audited me, and I'll be damned if WAMO and GregT didn't steal them while I was preoccupied arguing with radiosctive about them running away! I suspect GTGT was also involved, but at the moment I can't prove it.Yes, exactly, just you and the wife, and the noise you are hear is not... 9 are you and the sheep ok?
That's a fine story, but unless you have proof you are still liable.I'm still working out how to get them back.

We went over this at the barn... you saw that I don't have any sheep. I don't know how many sheep GregT, WAMO, and GTGT might be in possession of (and liable for)!That's a fine story, but unless you have proof you are still liable.
Armed or not, an unwelcome or uninvited person in your home constitutes a threat by virtue of his presence. They don't need a weapon when they come in; a quick trip to the kitchen will provide them with a suitable deadly object in the form of a butcher knife.IF A COP SHOOTS AN UNARMED CRIMINAL ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE.
