I’m not spring loaded to shoot.
What will probably happen to an intruder is that they will be attacked by three german shepherds, and when they are done with him, he can then deal with me.
And had he hurt any of those shepherds, it will be very, very bad for him.
No way in Hell I walk in on someone in my home that ain’t supposed to be there, and I don’t fear for my life. No. Way.
One of the most useful comments on this thread. Agree that is probably the best deterrent and first line of defense. I think we are on the same page. I am more concerned about others posting here that, without regard for their local/state laws, think the appropriate answer is they are the law on their property and can shoot any trespasser.
