[QUOTE="RDM416, post: 145501, member: 3745"] Like many on here, this is a topic that gets me going so I just had to comment. I have friend who lives in Cleburn TX. He had a son who lived in Pampas TX with his wife and two children. A little over a year ago a man parked about a half mile from his sons house. Walked to the house, kicked in the door, first shot the wife, then the husband, then the 11 year old son then shot the bed where the 9 year old daughter was hiding under the covers. She survived, she was under the bed, the shooter mistook the rumpled covers for the girl. Yes, the person who broke into your home may be some strung out kid just looking for something quick to steal and just wants get in and out without anyone getting hurt. On the other hand, he could just start shooting......like in Pampas. I have several friends in law enforcement. One piece of advice they all stress.... Don't pull your gun to scare an intruder or assailant. That can get you killed or in legal trouble (called threatening with a lethal weapon). If the situation has you in fear of your life or that of your family, shoot the person, and kill them........dead men tell no lies. The related piece of advice. If you are not mentaly prepared to make that kind of decision, don't carry a weapon. [/QUOTE]
