So here is a story that contains elements that I love and hate.

An increase in home invasions causes a neighborhood to learn to protect themselves. Good.

But the brazen statements of killing such as “If they get inside my house they’ll die,” are NOT self defense, and could be used to prove that you meant to kill, which would transform self-defense into murder for him, even if it would have been otherwise justified.

The officer in this story is right, shooting or killing someone is a life changing experience, and it aint for the better.

Also notice the invasions were through unlocked front door entry, which is something we have always taught as dangerous, and to lock your doors, even when home, mowing the lawn, etc.

So, in short, they are learning to protect themselves, locking the doors, and bragging about shooting intruders.

I guess two out of three is the best we are gonna get, I hope they get good permit instructors who flense the bad ideas right out of their heads.
