A financial advisor living in San Diego used his trusty Sig Sauer 9mm to open fire on a pair of home intruders last week. Both are still at large.

It’s the middle of the night and you’re sleeping soundly. Suddenly you’re jolted awake by suspicious noises coming from downstairs. You realize there’s somebody in your house. What do you do? Well, if you’re anything like the San Diego homeowner we’re about to introduce you to, you grab your gun, head downstairs and give the home intruder a greeting in the form of multiple rounds from your Sig Sauer.

The aforementioned homeowner, identified only as Kurt, is a financial advisor who sits on the condo board in his building. Kurt told CBS affiliate KMFB he was asleep at around 3:45 a.m. early last week when he heard a rumbling downstairs and quickly sat up in bed.

“There was a flash of light so I knew there was someone in the home,” Kurt said.

Nervous and on full alert, Kurt grabbed his gun and went to check it out.

Kurt said he fired three shots at the two suspects inside his home. The intruders fled the scene. Police don’t think they were hit by any of the rounds.

Surprised this happened in Cali.

Do different states have different "measures" for what counts as feeling threatened?

If I was this guy and had actually killed someone instead of just shooting, I would have told police that I saw the what must have been the outline of that nail gun and felt threatened. I know just about everyone here would shoot at these guys the way he did, but I worry about whether the shooter would face charges, if he'd killed someone. Guess it's one of those, "Rather face 12 on a jury than six carrying your casket" situations.
