I was kidding. In Md you better not even look crossly at anone even
if they are inside your house doing you bodily harm!!

In 1988 we had an intruder that ended up trying to kill me. I finally
had to shoot him - from flat on my back on the living room floor with
him trying to kick my head off. This sucker was HUGE!!

The police had been called and the shooting took place some 15 min.
into the wait. Another 17 minutes before anyone got there (and they
hadnt even dispatched a car till 2 minutes after the 911 Op heard the
shot). Dominos could have baked and delivered a pizza in less time!

I was treated as the criminal and subsequently sued for 7.5 MILLION
dollars because (as the lawsuit stated) "I was obligated to protect
guests in my house".

The intruder was never charged with anything. Even my lawyers asked
why I would want him 'punished', afterall didnt I hurt him enuf???

He lost, but only after four years of phone harassment and shooting
up the front of our house (another crime never even investigated by
the cops).

I guess I sidetracked the thread, sorry.

I will be watching my cars and the traffic on the street more closely
tho.
