So I welcomed a thief into my home today...

[Gas Man]

Pot... good job for you. And this is why I always have my gun on/near me. When I'm in the shower, the gun is on the counter in the bathroom. When sleeping its on my nightstand. In the living room either on me, or in/next to me. However, I always in lock down like fort knox as well.

If you shoot somebody who is unarmed, or who is retreating, you are gonna be in a world of hurt.

Not saying it's right, it's just the way it is....

No castle law FTL

I agree. I told the wife the good side effect of the negative of Brinks barking at anybody within 100 yards of the house, is that everybody within 1/8 mile knows we own a really big F'in dog that doesn't like people.
