This is just plain inhospitable. Home owner should have offered them a beer, and perhaps a sandwich.

And if you're trying to push through my bedroom door . . . well . . . all bets are off. This. BG is already in one area of the house, no doubt he'll attempt to continue. B&E is charged as Burglary 1 in WA state which is a felony as Quanstuff pointed out. In the house, already committed a felony, good shoot by the letter of the law. If you want your rights protected in this state read the law to the letter and leave the wishy washy if/then crap out. BG commits a felony, law says good shoot to prevent a felony, good shoot. That's it. Could the HO have saved a big headache by just yelling at the BG and scaring them away? Probably, but still a good shoot. _________________ Licensed/Bonded/Insured Hardwood Floor Installer/Finisher http://www.hardwoodfloorsnw.com/ |

Few people have an "exterior-strength" lock on the door to the garage. This is a big tactical mistake *if you leave the garage-door opener in your car*... Yep - that was one of the first things I did when I bought the house --- put a deadbolt and locking knob on the garage door --- it confounded me why they weren't put in in the first place..... it only had a non-locking 'bedroom' door knob for the garage door????? WTF? _________________ Plan B is actually repeating Plan A.... it just involves much more alcohol. Of the ten voices I hear in my head, only three keep telling me NOT to shoot.... Do I go with the majority or common sense? |
