Oops, he simply took the whole loaf.  No knife present.  They cart you of to
jail.  Meet Bubba.

I beleived that the intruder was about to sexually assault my wife (or even
me, who knows about people these days). *BLAM*

Oh dang, that was a woman you shot - your alibi doesn't hold up.  They cart
you off to jail.  Bubba thinks you are cute.


Someone being in your
house uninvited is NOT open season to shoot first and ask questions later.
It's pretty darn clear about it.

Uninvited is one thing. I have family show up uninvited quite often. But
unless I immediately recognize the intruder, or there's a police cruiser,
firetruck, or ambulance out front - I'm assuming they're armed & dangerous.

That fireman came over the wall - the firetruck is at the next street over.
You looked out the front window, spotted nothing and just murdered a
fireman.  Bubba never baths and is really hairy.

All this macho posturing may make you feel good about yourself, just realize
that it may well not stand up in court.  Posting messages saying you intend
to flout the law about reasonable belief in public places puts you in a bad
position if the prosecution reads Lugnet.  ;-)
