On the other hand, a gun might not be needed to teach an intruder a lesson. Here is an old story for those who might not have heard it.
A family in Arizona returned home from a trip and, as they stopped in front of their house, noticed that their front door was open. Knowing they had locked it, they took the prudent approach and called the police.
A police officer checked out the home and discovered an intruder, completely naked, hiding in the hall closet. The nude man shoved the officer aside and ran out the front door. Seeing the police car at the curb, the man then did a sharp left turn and vaulted the board fence into the yard of the next-door neighbor.
Unfortunately, the man had not properly “cased” the neighborhood. Had he done so, he would have learned that the neighbor was well known throughout the Southwest for his magnificent and yard-filling cactus collection.
