wow - a return to the wild west. how manly.

if you can see the person in your home is unarmed, as they very often are, seems to me that shooting them in the leg would work just as well as killing them for your purposes. if you're a good enough shot to kill, you're a good enough shot not to. we have a lot of breakins in this area by a guy who isn't killing anyone, and has no weapon. he's a shithead for breaking in - but i seriously doubt he deserves to die.

accidents happen, and someday someone will end up shooting their sister in law when their wife forgets to tell him she's coming over to pick up the china.
