A few years back we had adt put in our house and garage. I had just went to bed and someone opened the garage setting off the alarm. I got up told my mom to call the police and went out side with my mossberg in hand loaded. A few here felt I made a mistake and should not have gone out and more so with my shotgun.

So since getting my carry permit this has come back to my head.

Lets say your in your house be it bed or watching TV, you hear a noise out side that should like glass breaking or say your door just opening. Since most are not just going to call the cops for every little noise , would you go out to check it out, and would you take your carry gun IE handgun with your permit. Ok now lets say you do and you do end up on someone breaking into your car and end up using your weapon. Would it be a clean shoot or would you end up in jail, My understanding is in Indiana you would be ok, same as a I read florida law. Now sure if you do or say you saw someone went and got your gun and went out side it might go different, but I think it to be logical to go out side your house should you hear a odd noise and be it we carry everywere else take your gun. I would think it the same as if you came out of a store and someone was stealing your car or whatever
