I get the tresspass charge, but the PI charge escapes me.

He was arrested and detained until he sobered up, police said.

Everything sounds so normal, the guy was drunk, no dogs were shot, no one was beaten.

This happened in Canada, and sounds like life 50 years ago.

The drunk is lucky there are anti-guns laws in Ontario. He is lucky to be alive.

The 64 year old drunk is damned lucky he didn’t find St. Peter or Lucifer depending on where he was heading...

Lucky him. In Dallas, they'll arrest you, hit you with PI/DWI/etc, and make sure you pay for it, even if you weren't doing anything

Get a German Shepherd: problem solved, or the dog gets a chew toy.

[Sequoyah101]

Damn lucky.

My house, my kid.

Dead and nobody knows what happened.

How in the h3ll did the old fart get into the house? Someone wasn't using very good OPSEC.

If anyone can get paste my security measures (Exterior motion-sense lighting, bolted & braced solid doors with alarm triggers, alarm motion sensors, barred windows with alarm triggers, bolted interior doors and several 180Db sirens and 1 dog) they'll be met with deadly force even before they can get to any of our bedrooms.

And no, I don't live in a big city.

Having read the article (I know - a violation of FR standards for many), I see how this could go either way. If the “noises” gave me concern, whether they sounded like a pervert or like some other threat, I would not expect any blame if I came armed and had to shoot the intruder to defend myself or my child. If the noises sounded like an aging and confused alcoholic who didn’t know he was in the wrong home or that there was a child in the bed that seemed to be not quite where he expected, then I would still come armed, but I would expect to cautiously but firmly escort him outside for the police to pick up. The time of the incident would actually help the drunk; I wouldn’t expect a criminal or a pervert to come at 5:00 am, when many people are sleeping lightly and ready to get up.
