So....you guys are assuming people are only breaking into homes to steal possessions?

Ok then....

tell us

Exactly...I don't know, you don't know. Only they know why they broke in.

Say they are there to kidnap your daughter (like that Elizabeth smart girl, or whatever her name was). And they have a gun to shoot anyone who tries to stop them. You going to try and reason with them?talk them out of it? Good luck with that.

And calling the cops will be too late....and if they get close, he'd prob just kill the girl like the sicko in MO did.

But enjoy living in your fantasy world, where nothing bad happens. And if it did, they'd prob only want your xbox anyway...

i hate children. so they won't be stealing any kids of mine. but remember, i could talk him down with the works of jesus like that one lady did (she also had meth).

you also live in a fantasy world where you think you live in the wild west. so don't give me that crap. in your scenario you said "he'd probably just kill the girl..."...thats as much of a leap as you think my "no bad things happen" world is (which was your words, i did not say that no bad thigns happen or ever imply that).

Ok then...

I thought you lost interest in the topic?

oh i have but you sucked me back in.

YES!!


So, do I win the thread?

Yes, but you still don't have a hot yummy pizza.

What if I am invited over to watch a movie, but then start texting during the movie?

Just don't throw any deadly objects at him, say like a tub of popcorn, and you should be ok.

Shoot first, and ask questions later, better safe than sorry.

Correct. You enter my house and that's what will happen.

My sophomore year in college, I had a friend staying with me for a weekend. We had a few drinks and split up after the bar so he could go home with a girl he met. He came back in a cab at around 4am, and accidentally walked into my downstairs neighbors apartment. They were nice enough to redirect him when they found him drunk and confused in their living room, but maybe they should have just shot him because there was a big scary man in their house.

I would have, and would have been legal to do so.

Yes, you would have legally murdered a lost kid that was visiting your neighbor.

The sound of Jiffy pop exploding on the stovetop would be all the justification needed to open fire.

Or, you could be like that guy in Colorado who killed his daughter by mistake, because he thought she was an intruder. She's dead. Elizabeth Smart isn't.

That's what she gets for sneaking out. Well, actually that's what she gets for sneaking back in. Glad my Dad didn't shoot me or my brother or my sisters.

[Fat_Bulldog]

I typically fire off a few rounds once every night down the hallway just in case.

Sometimes I mix it up and just shoot out the window.

My brain is wired so much differently than those that constantly worry about the boogie man getting them. I really feel sorry for you if you are constantly worried about stuff like that. What would keep me up at nights not able to sleep is having a loaded gun in my house, especially when I was raising kids. That would have terrified me.
