a true story:

aMan is in his Bedroom getting ready for bed.

he hears someone enter his house and start milling around on the 1st floor(bedroom upstairs).

Man quietly grabs his Pistol from the nightstand. then proceedes to creep downstairs.

he confronts the burgler at Gunpoint...the burgler has a knife...one thing leads to another and the burgler gets shot..

burgler is seriousely wounded but lives ... the burgeler presscharges...against homeowner.

during court The prossecuter asks the homeowner if he had a phone in his bedroom? homeowner answers yes.

prosecuter asks if he had a lock on his bedroom door? homeowner answers yes.

prosector asks why didnt you lock your bedroom door and call the Police from your bedroom phone....i'm not sure of the exact reply here but....

the way things played out the man got charged with something a little less than attempted Murder....be carefull what you do...if you do decide to take action shoot to kill(if youhave six shots use them all....if you have 9-15 use most of them.)
