After <A HREF="http://www.allamericanpatriots.com/48726418_missouri_missouri_governor_blunt_signs_legislation_encouraging_missourians_shoot_intruders" REL="nofollow">August 28, 2007</A>, it might be easier just to shoot him dead. But I don't think I could really do that to someone on his knees.<BR/><BR/>Given my daughter's screaming and the fact that he's on his knees, I'd probably tell him to get on his face on the ground with his hands behind his head, pistol whip him unconscious, then sit on him and call my daughter out. If she can't or won't come, I'd consider shooting his kneecaps out from behind to immobilize without killing, then go check.<BR/><BR/>It would seem unwise to leave him conscious behind me as I go to check on my daughter or to divide my attention between him and her. I'm sure to get distracted when I see her, and he may have a gun and turn things around on us.<BR/><BR/>What's your answer?Weetabixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03483498608206295895noreply@blogger.com
