Don't worry, I'm not stooooopid and I do use reasonable caution— it's a lot cheaper than fortification and easier on my spirit.
I just don't want another's blood on my hands for any reason. 
ETA: In my other life, I was a deadeye markswoman but only at the range.  |
Well, if I'm not home, I can't kill them. but if I am home, it's them or me. I have no problem shooting anyone who wants to do me harm - parlty because I have a young daughter and a little granddaughter who may be in that house, too. If someone would break in and harm me, my girls (and boys) are not safe.
That makes me mad.
You do NOT mess with my kids. End of story.
They will not hear me cock my weapon, btw. I will not try to scare them off. There will be one account of that break in, and it will be mine - there will be nothing left of an intruder but a chalk outline if I have my way.
This is in no way being a vigilante - this is my right to protect my home and family as an American. I'm not out walking the streets, looking for trouble.
