Resident shoots burglar during home invasion

[kcr]

71. I know. My neighbor's kid was shot dead right in front of my house.

I heard the shots and saw his body. I didn't want to run out and get a gun, but I wanted to move. That day. I'm not saying all people rush out and get a gun because of the NRA. I'm not saying no one should ever be allowed to have a gun. What I'm saying is, it's a bad policy to push guns as self defense. It's obviously not just the NRA but they're the big, public pushers for this. I'm responding to threads that are doing it. I understand your neighbor's reaction as I know just what it's like to go through that. It's terrifying. Just thinking about it right now, the thrill of terror comes right back to me. ETA these experiences are a big reason why I have the feelings I do. My neighborhood declined quite a bit in the time I lived there. My house was broken into once, and I think they were looking for guns. They probably assumed we had them for protection after the kid was shot in front of our house. They were disappointed.
