INSANITY IS NOT A PLEA. IT'S A WAY OF LIFE.
Some hearty knaves and simple fools,
Some apish and pragmatic mules,
Some servile acquiescing fools,
These, these comprise a congress.
When Jove resolved to send a curse,
And all the woes of life rehearse,
Not plague, not famine, but much worse,
He cursed us with a congress.

This is what weapons are for, defense. When an armed intruder comes into your home, I have no problem with the use of deadly force to repel that intruder. I only wish the children were not exposed to such things.
Gentlemen, you can't fight in here, this is the war room.
One good thing about Florida is its liberal gun laws.
There are none so blind as they who will not see.
That homeowner had every right to protect himself. More homeowners should do that.
