I agree with what happened.

I put it this way. If I wake up one night to find a man or woman sneakig around in my house...I am not going to ask him to pull up a chair and talk it out with me over a cup of hot chocolate to determine his reasoning. I am not going to scream at the top of my lungs for somebody to help me, in hopes that he'll leave me and my family alone. I am not going to value his life over a rat if I feel for one minute that my beloved wife and baby are in harm's path.

If a guy breaks in, and gets caught in the act...I am going to assume that he will try to ensure a clean get-away by silencing my ability to identify him. Karen does not allow me to have a gun...but I will tell ya right now that my 17" blade under my side of the matress will be tasting his blood. I will stop stabbing and slashing if and when he gets out the door and into the yard.
