I agree with with not waiting. Zero reason to allow anything to progress, silly kids don't do armed robbery. Silly kids were on the computer, and grandpa nobly fought back.
Most consider or assume that the police are well trained yet 11% of police shootings kill an innocent person - only about 2% of shootings by citizens kill an innocent person. http://video.foxnews.com/v/1736818979001/ http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/07/2...r-mistaking-him-for-intruder/?test=latestnews
Everybody should get out to an indoor shooting range where they can learn to fire a .38 if nothing else. Some of these comments in this thread indicate that the writers don't really know how the pistol thingy works.. In Teddy Roosevelt's time, he was a proponent of physical fitness, shooting was part of his fitness program... of course nowadays we have high school kids that can't run around the gym once...
My observation as well. Pseudo "experts" who have little if any real knowledge or experience with firearms arrogantly presuming to tell those of us who do what we should or should not be doing with our constitutionally protected right.
