“Homeowner used own gun.....”
Well, whose gun was he supposed to use?
Well, whose gun was he supposed to use? .
Excuse me Mr. Burglar.
Could you just wait right there while I run next door and borrow my neighbor’s shotgun?
Yeh, right there, thanks, thanks a lot.
I' ll be right back.
Honey why don't you get him some coffee while he waits.
Maybe he should have used a stolen gun.
Oh, ye of a little faith. Know ye not that violence only begets violence?
Why, he is supposed to gently take the intruder's gun away; carefully unload it; put a trigger lock on it; lock it in an approved gun safe...while locking the ammunition in a different location; then politely ask the intruder to please await the arrival of the police.
Meanwhile, his wife (having already dialed 911) should be fixing a pot of decaf, and preparing a platter of sugar free, low-fat donuts and whole grain tomato & cucumber sandwiches.
If people just would not get excited when undocumented occupents are found in their house, there would be far less violence in the world.
At this Christmas Season, these mean spirited, selfish people should have graciously shared their plenty with the disadvantaged unathorized appropriator.
