For those of you that posted that you would "shoot scumbag", pop off a round etc. Remove or edit your posts, as if the sad event does happen, it will be considered premeditated murder and the hassle of post self defense will become a nightmare. We live in a world where protecting our families comes with asteriks. Although it is our right, and our duty to keep our families and property safe, the law from state to state changes.
Locks and windows only keep the honest people honest.
Its nice to have a 9mm Bedside haha.
Can't blame you one bit.
Man sorry to hear about that. We had the same thing happen about 2 weeks ago while we were home. We didn't hear it they went through the basement door. when they got in they heard the alarm beep, it wasn't set but everytime you go in or out it beeps. This happend at 11:30 at night with 6 cars in the drive way so they knew we were home. I've been taking my 40cal. out of the safe every night. Crazy feeling when you have this happen when your home.
Dman, that sucks!!!! Could have been a lot worse....Glad there was no harm to you and your family!!!!
Sounds like a bad night. Glad you and yours are Ok.
Lots of post here about legal rights to protect ourselves and The trouble you can get in for doing so.
Words of wisdom given to me 40 years ago by a Ny cop on this matter.
I'd rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6.
I can live with that.

I appreciate the advice.
But isn't it a sad day in this great country, when letting it be known that you intend to defend your home & loved ones by any means necessary can be construed as premeditated murder?
Perhaps if it became known that folks are willing to send a round to them in the dark, these chitstains would think twice.
I think it's taken for granted by the lowlifes that we're too soft to fight back.
Well, I intend to fight back, should the occasion arise, heaven forbid.
And if it ends up the way I intend it, he won't be giving his account of the events when the local militia arrives.
Oh, and for the official record, I don't really mean that.![]()

Sad thing, if you shoot the a**hole.
You'd be in more trouble than him
I'm glad I have three very large and intimidating dogs.
I welcome some moron to try and get in my house.
He'd have a harder time getting out.
