I'd want to be able to protect myself if he ran across me in a home he thought

<div class="ecxmoz-cite-prefix"><br>What's paranoid about locking up when you're
out and being ready to defend yourself when you're at home when there is a
known burglar in the area? Being prepared is not the same thing as being
paranoid. If someone is crazy enough to break into your home while you
are there, you can go ahead and classify that as a situation fraught with
danger, in which case having some means to protect yourself might be called
for. There are plenty of reasonable scenarios where a would-be burglar
happens upon a member of the household when he thought the place was empty
that could end up very badly for the person he stumbled upon. If the
burglar knew you were at home and invaded the home anyway, then you've
definitely got a problem if you are happily unarmed.<br><br>Better to have
that gun when you need it than not. If guns frighten you, which I find
hard to believe because of your military background, then at least pick up a
good aluminum baseball bat.<br><br>Do you think I'm paranoid because I keep a
set of jumper cables in my trunk in case my battery dies and I need a jump
from a kind stranger? Are you one of those people that joyously flit
from situation to situation relying on the gods to keep you out of
trouble?<br><br>Paul<br><br>On 02/19/2013 01:18 PM, Tom Hansen
