That sucks big time man. Head down here to the sunshine state, we've got room and I have a twin SHO you can borrow in the interim :biggrin
Sorry to hear about your incident Dave.
My local senior Leo friends all told me the same thing. If they are inside you home, you shoot them when they are facing you, then you call us first ( I have their Cell Phones) and then you call the station directly and not 911 - unless its an emergency of course.
I see your point, once thay have been shot while facing you it is no longer an emergency requiring 911. Of course the blood on the carpet becomes a cleaning emergency.
Sorry to hear of this Dave, it is frustraiting that as citizens we have very few options to defend ourselves.
I was taught you always call 911 and ask for the police and paramedics. The threat is ever present (where there is one there may be many) and you are always concerned about the welfare of a human no matter who or what they are. A "life" may be saved.
I have my own definition of the word human thank you very much.
My front door got smashed in last year as well. It's double layer glass and I guess the racket of the first layer smashing scared them away from trying the second. The car is one thing, but if you breach the door and we're home, you're leaving in a body bag. Period.
