Even though it'd be legal to use lethal force, I keep my telescoping police baton handy. I'd prefer to let off a little of the adrenaline that'd be rushing should someone actually enter my home in the dead of night.
Maybe the Brewers or the CUbs might try to sign him!!!!

See, this is what I was *****ing about when it comes to California laws.
My first duty is to protect my family. But in California, legally, you're supposed to do just enough to deter the attacker. And you can't even shoot someone in the back, even if they're in your house.
So...if you're a bad guy, you know the owner is in the house, just never face them. Continue to rob, kill, maim, or whatever, just keep your back turned.

When you are cuffed to the bed post, the quickest way is to unscrew it.

Can you actually get those? I would have thought they were illegal to own.
Thats just plain stupid.
I mean, what are you supposed to do? Hit the guy just a little, and then wait to see if that deters him? "Hmmm......that didn't stop him......I'll hit him a little harder....." meanwhile, he's pulling out his knife to slit your throat.
Zombie.............shoot him in the back, then turn him over and shoot him in the front. The you tell the cops you shot him in the front first, then he turned quickly and you shot him in the back by accident.
Isn't that crazy? How do you know just how much it will take to deter a criminal, unless you go 100% right from the start? If it doesn't deter him, it will just **** him off and you have alot better chance of getting yourself or your loved ones killed.
My Uncle was a Milwaukee Police detective. He told me, "If someone is breaking into your house, and he's climbing through your window, shoot him and empty the gun on him. If he falls outside, go out and drag him into the house." You need to empty the gun to prove you feared for your life, and reacted to protect yourself. And if you only injure him, he will probably come back and sue you for using unnessacary force.
Isn't that just plain nuts? If someone is breaking into my place, he has lost all his rights as to what happens to him at that point.
JMO of course.
I told my wife......if someone tries to break in, ask who they are and warn them that you have a gun and will use it. If they don't run immediatly, empty it into their chest. I taught her how to use the gun and let her shoot it so that she's not afraid of it. When i go for a week deer hunting, i give her the loaded gun, and she sleeps with it by her side.
Wow, idk why the robber would try to invade an nfl player's house.![]()

risk vs reward my friend.
risk:getting your *** smacked by a 6 foot 5 inch highly trained slab of muscle
reward: millionaire's belongings.
depending on how hard up you are for cash... the reward might outweigh the risk.

This was a big thing in Chicago the last couple years. James Posey, Eddy Curry, and some others I can't remember got their homes invaded.
News of the thwarted break-in at Noah Herron's house struck a nerve with Green Bay Packers teammate Al Harris.
While Harris was at the Pro Bowl in Hawaii in February, his Green Bay-area home was broken into and a television was stolen, he said.
"I'm glad I wasn't home," Harris said after Wednesday's organized team activities practice. "That's crazy."
Harris said he called the police but wasn't sure whether anyone was apprehended.
Herron used a bedpost to bash one of the intruders on the head during the attempted robbery at his Howard residence on Friday night. He declined to talk to reporters on Wednesday. Packers coach Mike McCarthy said the running back "is going through a tough time."
In November, Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor was murdered during a break-in at his home in suburban Miami, not far from where Harris makes his offseason home in Coral Springs, Fla.
Harris repeated Wednesday what he said then: This is a safe place.
"It is, it is," the veteran cornerback said. "This is a place where you can leave your door open, but there are some bad apples. I hate that Noah or anybody had to go through that type of thing, someone burglarizing your house."
They are lucky they didn't try to break into Greg Jennings' house....
