I read life at the bottom. I work in an American psychiatric hospital. We are not quite as bad as the British...yet.

I figure that someone will assert that he gave his house to the robber, and then broke in to take it back, using the gun to further his robbery.

That way your sentence would be less than if you used the gun to stop the crime or to protect your life.

At least the second time you do it you will have a record, which will help with getting out early.
