In article , says... What would you do if a thug violently broke into your house in Florida while you were sitting on the couch watching your favorite TV commentator, Ann Coulter? Invite him to sit down for a beer and some snacks? JPS would. Pure snark. I don't have guns in my house, and I'm certainly not worried about a "thug violently breaking into" my house. Never heard about it happening around here. Lot of that happening in your area? BTW, do you worry about a meteor hit? There was one such incident I can recall in our county a couple of years ago. It comes up from time to time because one of the posters here who cannot control his temper has threatened to do that, and has also threatened to "sic" one of his motorcycle gang buddies to do the job for him. I contacted the police in his town, and they paid him a "home visit." |

JPS has stated he has no objection to owning a firearm for personal protection or home defense. I never had any interest in having guns when we were younger and had kids in the house. I started thinking about getting one about 6 years ago when I realized I wasn't the young guy I used to be and my wife and I were in a different stage in our lives. We don't live in a high crime area but break-ins do occur from time to time. One idiot in our town decided to break into a town cop's house one night about a year ago. Didn't work out well for him. |

A kid in a local Provincial town was charged for burglary, yet was released by the magistrate (with a probationary period and minor fine) because it was a first time offence. That evening the kid broke into another home and gathered up some valuables, made a sandwich from the refrigerator, and sat on the couch to enjoy a bottle of wine. Thee fool fell a sleep on the couch. Then the home owner arrived and noticed thee side door and been tampered with and called for a constable. Upon entry they found the kid who was before the judges bench that morning. in the mean time the kid found that he had broken into the judges home... Not good. |

We're talking about a thug who breaks into a house looking to cause mayhem and who gets caught in the act by the occupant and by videotape. You seem like you have rehearsed this killing and in your state that will mean you pull a charge. What would you do if a thug violently broke into your house in Florida while you were sitting on the couch watching your favorite TV commentator, Ann Coulter? Invite him to sit down for a beer and some snacks? If you are sitting on the couch, you are probably going to be at his mercy unless you have your gun in your hand. That is why it is a good thing to have a big dog that is more alert than most people can be. It *might* buy you time to get to your safe room and a gun. Anything else is just fantasy. If I was trying to repel a team of home invaders and I was able to get to a safe and defensible place, I would certainly want more than a 6 shooter. I'm unimpressed by your knowledge of "the law." Thinking out what to do in advance of a criminal breaking in is no different than thinking through a plan for a fire or a tornado. There's really no such thing as a "safe room" in a modern house with wood stud/drywall walls, light door frames and hollow doors. My six shooter is not my weapon of choice to repel a home invader. I didn't buy it for that purpose. |

I didn't buy it for that purpose. Some people (BOA for example) don't seem to realize that having a nice firearm and going to the range or other authorized area and becoming proficient at using it is enjoyable for many people. It's not all about being prepared to shoot someone or even hunting. |
