Maybe some more range time is needed in Houston.

A Houston, Texas couple were accosted by an armed home invader who wanted cash and drugs this week. The husband got into a struggle with the armed man.

The burglars knew there were drugs in the house?

Does that mean we aren't allowed to razz you?

“This gave his wife time to get a gun and KILL'T the burglar.”

[Vendome]

Can’t live with them, so she shot him...? /s

Thanks...:)
