He did call 911 . . . after his daughter said she didn't know the young man under her bed. (n/t) Petrushka Mar 2014 #175

But he didn't trust the police so he decided he'd better shoot upaloopa Mar 2014 #178

No, because he didn't comply when told by the father to stay still, CVN-68 Mar 2014 #182

Not me I don't carry a gun upaloopa Mar 2014 #183
