I came very close to shooting a perp not much older than the one in this story. Surprised each other while he was attempting to burglarize my garage. His bad luck I had just returned from a session at the range, with magnum revolver still on my hip. This happened not more than one week after a neighbor lady came home from work for lunch, and experienced the same with a young perp standing in her foyer. He attacked her. She shot and killed him with a .38 snubby carried in her purse. Nothing more dangerous than a young perp. They lack self control, common sense, and fear of death. They'll kill you in a heart beat for nothing more than the change in your pocket, or for some shiny nick-nack or dust catcher they've just stolen from your family room book case.
