I wouldn’t want to, and would likely feel guilty for the rest of my life, but I sincerely hope that I have the presence of mind to shoot any SOB who intends harm to me or mine...and I presume that anyone who enters my home at 0’Dark:30 without my permission has exactly that mission on his mind.
The good thing is that I live in Texas. After dark, shooting people on your property is highly protected, to say nothing of inside your home. Here I think that the police would actually be disappointed if the perp was still kicking when they arrived.
don’t call 911, send mail from post office next morning after it opens
