My wife and I were out hanging Christmas lights on the fence when some guy kicked in the door across the corner from our house. My wife called and the woman started screaming, so I got a pistol and chased the guy away (he had already beat her pretty bad. The cops showed up about 40 minutes later.

would you have shot him?

If I thought it necessary... he left so I didn't see any more danger. I also made it clear if he came back around the lady could call me and I would be there within 30 secs.

I have an advantage... 3 cemeteries to "lose" people in.
