L'il Snottie dreaming up fantastic adventures again?
Knew a local guy like that.. he could convince strangers of almost anything while we stood bacn and were amused.
He had a great story of how he saved the life of another buddy of ours (bull****) and how he did overseas during the VietNam war.
Of course, he was a hero.. ~~Snerk~~

According to the Post, law enforcement sources believed that the

may have entered the home through a rear window and was not armed.

Entering someone else's through a rear window? Give me a break.

Would you have offered him tea and cookies?





Imagine what a schmuck you'd feel like if you didn't give the kid 10

seconds to explain himself and found that you'd just shot your

neighbor's kid who was too drunk to know the difference between

houses.





You want to carry that kind of weight around for the rest of your

life, like your compatriots here?





Ya'll put up a brave face but I have to wonder how many nights you'd

sit awake wondering how that kid's father and mother feel.





The callous responses here are astounding. Christians, no doubt.





-------------------------------------









Castle laws may give you legal authority but I'd have to be more

convinced that the intruder was an immediate threat to me or my

wife

before I'd open fire. Shooting someone is pretty serious stuff.



Depending on his motives, you might not have much time to make up your

mind.

But according to harry, it's a no brainer.



According to everything harry has said over the years, the kid would

have been dead at his home too...





I don't shoot in the dark, d.f. If an obviously drunk kid broke in and

he wasn't wielding any sort of weapon, I'd simply get him down on the

floor and call the police.



Now, if the intruder were a short little greasy **** adult male who

broke in and he looked like you, I'd assume it was a home invasion and

act accordingly.



It's dark. Your alarm is going off because someone broke in. He's walking up the staircase. You

don't know it's a kid, and you don't know he's drunk, and you don't know if he does or doesn't have

a weapon. You yell and fire a warning shot. The guy keeps coming.



....and now you simply get him down on the floor and call the police.



Right.

'Name-calling'...the liberals' last resort.





Well, if you are lucky enough to be upstairs with your family you yell

down the stairs. "we up here are armed, the police have been called, if

you come up the stairs, you will be shot"... Then if they come up the

stairs still, you defend your family.



You have to use reasonable force. Like the cops say, "we treat you the

way you ask to be treated".



The time the guy tried to walk into my house at about 1am I had a

baseball bat. I crossed it up in two hands and slammed him up under the

rib cage when he reached for what I thought might be a weapon in his

coat pocket. He flew off the porch and was still laying there when the

cops came, I think I broke his ribs. Either way, if he had gotten back

up I would have held it like a baseball bat and swung for the fence, but

"he didn't ask for that"...



Yeah, sure....... You wouldn't lie, would you?
