http://www.bnd.com/430/story/286264.html > http://www.bnd.com/430/story/286264.html Sounds to me like she should have spent her time grabbing a gun instead of dialing 911... It's pretty obvious that it couldn't have turned out any worse for her... "I don't call 911, I call BFI" Since Allied Waste bought out BFI, I guess I need to change that to: "I don't call 911, I call AW"... Doesn't have quite the same ring to it though... Oh well...

Depending on the urgency of the situation, you do both. You dial 911 AND you lock and load in preparation of someone illegally entering your premises.

I don't think anyone here relishes the thought of having to shoot someone. I know many policemen (well not really many - a couple) who have had to shoot someone - two were kills who left the job because of it. One worked with young kids - really tried to help them instead of busting their balls. He confronted a burglar one night, the kid level something at him that he thought was a gun. The kid was 15 years old and had a piece of rebar in his hand. The second shot a guy in the back of his head while he was running from the cop after committing two armed robberies, and a car jacking in the previous 45 - 60 minutes. The cop was white the perp was black. The black leaders and the local paper rode his a.s pretty good - wanted to know why he didn't shoot to wound. We all know the answer to that. Unfortunately he was running towards a junior high full of kids. The perp had already shot one person a few minutes earlier. Wonder what would have happened had he entered the gun-free school <snip> > thanks - I got those parts it is the actual shooting someone - and > hopefully it is the right thing to do.

I would argue that you have the order of those two operation backwards... Lock and load first and then *if* you have time, call 911... Maybe you call them afterwards... Maybe you just call BFI...

Maybe you > call them afterwards... Maybe you just call BFI... I did include a qualifier "Depending on the urgency of the situation." There are merits to my order and to yours. The investigation will surely note the sequence of events and the sooner the 911 call is made, the more likely things are to go smoothly. The actual sequence of events in my home is likely to be telling my wife to dial 911 while I reach for a weapon. My defensive weapons are where they are supposed to be, loaded and ready for use at all times. About the only time they are unloaded is when they are cleaned. About the only time they are not where they live is when they're at the range and, on rare occasions, when they are in the safe because there are children in my home that I can't, for one reason or another, ensure don't have access to them.

You can never be too safe. Adam > When I hear rustling in my back yard I just fire a few from my 357 magnum > and ask questions later. You can never be too safe. Nawh, pepper the back yard area with .22LR shots and then use the .357 for wherever the loudest yells are coming from afterwards...
