If a stranger is in your home at night and you are sure it's a stranger and not your teen daughter's boyfiend sneaking in, then he has a bullet coming.

And keep shooting till he's down and out.

If you live alone...hell, do want you want. Offer him tea and scones but you owe your family a proper defense if you're the hombre of the home.

Now, I say that, yet in college I had a drunk old black man in my bedroom at Ole Miss rifling change whilst I was asleep. For some reason known only to G-d, I pistol whipped him(with my loaded M28) and threw him out of my house. He was quite drunk. I did not call the law given the other contents likely to be found in a college boy's rented home in the bleary-eyed 70s lol.

A few days later, his son (to whom he had confessed after being queried about his injuries) came by to apologize and offer recompense and thank me for not killing his dad. His son was a law student and the old man had been the yard man before at the property I rented.

Today, with a wife and 4 young children in a roomy home and feeling a lot less immortal now than then, I doubt the outcome would be the same. I see somebody in the hallway near my babies or upstairs near my girls, I'm killing them more likely than not...like I said...make sure it's not Romeo sneaking around...aside from that....any stranger is fair game in your home...at least here in Nashville.

A few months ago some kids, one was a society-brat dopehead broke into a mansion near me and went for the goodies armed with a Romanian semi-AK and a 9mm.....they did not bank on the owner (a publishing house magnate) to be a Korean War vet and full of piss and vinegar. The ensuing gun battle left both perps with ratshot from a .357 to the head. The owner said they were damn lucky he didn't grab his 1911 loaded with Glazers in the confusion. I'll say. The homeowner was in his early 70s. The perps were late teens/early 20s. One of them's dad was Charlie Chase of the Crook and Chase TV show on TNN.

Old drunk black man in yer dorm room........Does the old joke about never going to bed with an ugly woman but waking up with many apply here or was it really an old black man ?;O)
