Sounds perfect to me. Good results via the gun without the hassles of a dead guy in your house. Yay homeowner!

Wow, kudos to the Homeowner, but how long should you really wait for compliance before you squeeze?

Nothing against people with tattoos, but really?



This guy would pretty much scare me if he busted in my door, he might get ONE warning to leave, anything after that would end badly for him.

Who knows for sure, but if the guy was visibly drunk, seemingly unarmed, AND I was alone (family not around), I THINK I could hold off until the last second.

If the family was home, I'd probably err on the side of him being dead.

Ack! Maybe I'll change my opinion since you edited your post.

I wish I knew where in Springettsbury this was, it's a pretty good-size area. If I pull out of my driveway and go just 6 houses down the street I will be entering Springettsbury Township.

And this is a pretty good example of why I carry at home. And, unlike our hero in the story, our cars and doors are always locked unless we are in the yard somewhere.

Growing up and living in the Baltimore Metro area made that an easy habit to get into.

No two scenarios are ever going to be the same.

But If the person entering my home did not have a weapon in hand, stopped immediately at the sight of my myself with my firearm and made no sudden moves he could stand there until the police arrived.
