Exactly! It's not like they scoped out the place and are going in when they're certain no one is there. It's quite the opposite.

All of this. Great post.

If someone is breaking into your home and fails to ID themselves, I think the appropriate thing to do is to try and shot them somewhere that they can survive, but if you kill them... then they shouldn't have been doing what they were doing.

Without hesitation. You don't mess around when the safety of your wife and kids are concerned.

Beat them until their legs dont work, and take whatever money/goods they have on them.

Also blind them with a boiling water & cayenne mix after they are subdued.

I recently met some Canadians in Vegas and struck up a convo. We got on the topic of guns. They couldn't believe that Americans have guns like we do. Their stance:

In Canada if someone breaks into your house and you don't have a gun, they probably just take what they want and leave and nobody has to die.

It was really frustrating trying to argue with them about why a person doesn't have the right to go into your house and take your things and if they do then they risk dying.

Stupid Canadians. Cool story I know.

My wife locked the doors to the house once when she was sick and we never lock the doors. Any way I didn't have and I don't normally carry a key to my house. I didn't Want to wake her up so I start to crawl through an unlocked window got caught up in the curtain making all kinds of noise and shite. I peek my head through the curtains and she is standing there pointing her .380 at me. Any how stupid story but I almost got shot breaking into my own house. Therefore someone that doesn't own the house is dumber than I. So I say shoot em

It would also be unbecoming to not offer them a dessert for the road.

1. Why did she lock the door?

2. Where do you live that you never lock the door?

3. How proud were you of your wife in...or after that moment?

You couldn't reason with them. It was a mind blowing experience. Nice folk though eh

No way in hell I'd try that with my wife. I'm pretty sure she'd not just point but instead would start unloading .38 CorBon hollow points dead center mass the moment she saw a human form coming in the window.

Yes, but dont shoot them in the back. That look bad on your part
If you do shoot them in the back, right before you call the police, turn them over to where they are laying face up and shoot them again in the front. Problem solved......

She locked the door because she had taken Benadryl and didn't want anyone to walk in after knocking. I lived outside of Daphne I don't lock my doors because I don't feel it is needed. Very proud of her one being ready 2 not shooting until she had a clear target.

That happens quite often.

It's better imo to be talking loudly while doing that, like when walking on land inhabited by Brown bears. unless she just took out a large insurance policy, seems like that would solve fears/confusion/misunderstandings

In my mind, a burglar made the decision that his life wasn't valuable when he broke into my home.

By shooting him, I'm simply reaffirming his decision.
