Excellent news posting that should make all homeowners with guns take notice!

Imagine 70 years in prison for shooting an intruder!

I suspect that his family is out a few hundred thousand dollars in legal fees, too.

As Advogado said, do not brag about about your willingness to shoot an intruder. It is almost certain that your computer will be seized and searched.

Best idea, leave the shooting to those in law and order and invest in a professionally installed alarm system.
