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.

I doubt you're in any shape to do that, delusional one.


Harry would be the most likely here to shoot someone based on what he
has said here over the years. He is just itchin' to shoot a human target...



Well, actually, no. But a house invader like you wouldn't fare well.

Perhaps he had the type alarm I do - makes a horrendous noise and calls the company. Doesn't turn on
a single light in the house.

I was telling you what was in the news.

"The homeowner heard his burglar alarm sound, grabbed his gun and went to investigate. When the two
met on the stairs inside the house, the man said he told the teen to leave and fired a warning shot,
according to a law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation.

Caleb didn’t stop, and the home-owner fired again, striking and killing the teen, the official
said."

So obviously the teen 'already knew, drunk or not, that he wasn't at home.'

It's hard to believe you didn't cut'n'paste this story yourself.

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?

In some states, warning shots aren't allowed. If you are going to shoot,
shoot to stop the threat. harry interpets that to mean shoot to kill.
