?? I got no prob being the village idiot but where have I posted off-topic on your thread?

It had been awhile since anyone mentioned that most of the time these punks want mostly to GET AWAY after being confronted by an armed homeowner.

Otherwise the sentiment had been expressed here that it was preferable to lawfully shoot a home invader lest they come back again better prepared to steal your stuff.

I would expect for most of us the aftermath of such a killing would lead us off into uncharted waters, probably expensive uncharted waters at the very least.

No one in my house right now besides me. If I could I would climb out a back window in the event of a home invasion rather than shoot someone over “stuff” (even if I had stuff 🙂), then I would call the Cops from a position of relative safety.

Cheaper in the long run.
