[rfuerst911sc]

Unfortunately just watch the news and there are plenty of stories of bad things happening to people in their own homes. And what do you hear the people say ? This is a good quiet neighborhood ! It can happen anywhere at anytime. I am not a paranoid type of person but I do own guns. I would label myself as a casual gun owner. I go to the pistol range maybe 6 times a year so no where near an expert in gun handling. But I have handled guns for a good portion of my life so not a novice either. I would have no problem shooting an intruder if I had to but hope I never have to. We have a burglar alarm, three yappy dogs and then the guns as last resort. I don't ever want to be in a position of a bad guy/s in my house and I can't defend myself. I may lose the battle but I'm not going down as a sheep. I would imagine if your only line of defense is the 911 call you just made those minutes ( how long ??? ) would seem like an eternity. And while you are waiting for the police to arrive and you find yourself with the perp face to face that just broke your door down what are you going to do ? Tell him you called 911 ? Good luck with whatever your decision is and be safe.
