Hi Everyone, and thanks for all your info from my previous posts.....
I was thinking the other night about home defense and wanted to know how to handle this situation.
If I have barricaded myself and my family in the bedroom, because I think burglars are in the house and called the police, is it justifiable to shoot through the door if...
1) They are trying to break into the bedroom and are almost in
2) They have put a hole in the door and are waving a gun around demanding we open it
3) They have put a hole in the door and are trying to reach the handle
To be honest I don't know what I would do. Instinct tells me to wait until the door is open for legal reasons but, in such a small space things could get ugly. All opinions and thoughts welcome.
Thanks.
opps, just realized I put this in the wrong thread...oh nuts!
