So he accidentally shot his wife in the process but she’s going to be OK and I suspect she forgives him.
What they fail to mention is that the Straits were tortured and murdered by a gang of feral black thugs.
They caught one but the rest at still on the loose.
While there are some similarities, there are a lot more examples of recent home invasions that carry with them a multitude of lessons.
Here are some good examples:
1) Unexpected door knocks from 9pm to 6am should only be attended when armed. Ignoring them is not an option, for non-response may result in an intruder trying to kick that or another door in, or break and enter through windows.
2) Home invasions may be criminals or may be police, so identify your targets. Practical note: gunmen of all kinds tend to look for targets as standing, from head to waist height. If you can be in a prone position, through a doorway as they enter the other side of a hall, you will have maximum shooting advantage, as they will have to look down, move their gun down, and have a smaller target area than you. Never illuminate your position.
3) If a dog sacrifices itself attacking them, good dog. But remember that it is just a dog. If they kill your dog they have just killed a dog. If you kill them, it is homicide.
4) If you need to shoot once, you probably need to shoot more than once. Do not pause to “damage assess”. In the immortal words of Tuco, “When you have to shoot, shoot. Don’t talk.”
5) A big secret of liability law is that injured people always get much bigger settlements and damage awards than dead people. If a criminal survives, it may cost the taxpayers $2m to try and imprison them. Bullets are cheap, and mean no more victims from that criminal.
We should take up a collection to get Ol’ Fred a new pair of glasses or Lazik Surgery.
