I understand everyone's points of view....I read them all and they all make sense in their own right.
My biggest fear is not what I would or would not do if faced with a situation like that, it is what could happen or be taken from me if I made an UNLAWFUL choice. It is messed up to think that you could lose everything by using deadly force, and I know it's better than what COULD happen..........but it's not exactly a fun 2nd place either.

Here's a thought for all of you shoot first guys........Same situation, but:

What if the intruder was an unarmed WOMAN?

Something to think about........
