Well, you can't just "open" that drawer.



Hand me a 5 lb hammer and stand back.

Would that be after your head was removed via a 12-gauge shotgun? :)


Damn, somehow that image was more than I wanted to imagine this morning.

I think I must be a wuss, when my kids were young, I never had a problem
with them watching a movie with nudity and mild sexual content, but I
would not allow them to watch violence, especially the blood and gore
horror films. I was always amazed that graphic violence would get a
PG-13 rating, nudity would get a R.



I'm not paranoid, but I do take the idea of home invasion seriously. I
would not hesitate to shoot and kill anyone other than a law enforcement
officer or fireman who broke into our house while we were home. Since I
am not a lawbreaker and I don't have or use an illicit drugs, I don't
anticipate any cops wanting to bust down our doors.

Naturally, whoever tried to bust in would not be Eisboch. Who would
trust him with a five pound hammer, anyway? :)

I don't know about all states, but here in MA there are apparently different
rules regarding the use of deadly force in the event of a home break-in. I
understand that if the break-in occurs at night, deadly force is justified
in the eyes of the courts, but if it occurs during daylight hours, there are
no guarantees that the home owner will be held harmless or not charged with
something.

#1 Yes, you are paranoid.

#2 How often do the police and firemen break into houses?

#3 You down own a home.

In Maryland, there is case law indicating duty to retreat does not apply
when attacked in one's home. Other exceptions to duty to retreat are
being the victim of a robbery, situations where the imminent peril of
attack makes retreat impossible or retreat would not remove the danger.

Ergo, if some drooler breaks into my house at night, I have no duty to
retreat. I'll simply shoot the sucker.

Massachusetts:

PART IV. CRIMES, PUNISHMENTS AND PROCEEDINGSIN CRIMINAL CASES

TITLE II. PROCEEDINGS IN CRIMINAL CASES

CHAPTER 278. TRIALS AND PROCEEDINGS BEFORE JUDGMENT

Chapter 278: Section 8A. Killing or injuring a person unlawfully in a
dwelling; defense

Section 8A. In the prosecution of a person who is an occupant of a
dwelling charged with killing or injuring one who was unlawfully in said
dwelling, it shall be a defense that the occupant was in his dwelling at
the time of the offense and that he acted in the reasonable belief that
the person unlawfully in said dwelling was about to inflict great bodily
injury or death upon said occupant or upon another person lawfully in
said dwelling, and that said occupant used reasonable means to defend
himself or such other person lawfully in said dwelling. There shall be
no duty on said occupant to retreat from such person unlawfully in said
dwelling.



About the same in Massachusetts as in Maryland in terms of effect. If
someone breaks into your house in Massachusetts, you can shoot him.

You are your son's keeper, his maid, and his bitch. Until you liberate
yourself from that lazy ass and grow a pair, STFU.
