- As my grandaddy once said, "Don't point a gun at something unless
- you plan to shoot it. And don't shoot something unless you plan
- to kill it." If you shoot someone burgling your house and they
- live they will often sue and win, kill them and charges are
- almost never filed. Just be sure to shoot them in the front, it's
- hard to argue self defense when the corpse has three holes in it's
- back. If they're running away, say from your car, just tackle and
- beat the shit outta them. It's hard for them to argue excessive
- force when you just use your hands.
