With all due respect , not all of us have (or want) a 9mm around in case of such emergencies. In the case of such kind of intrusion, one does what one has to do. We all are different, as are our responses in this respect. What was done, in this case, was both herioc and resulted in the capture of the criminal, WITHOUT any undue harm or loss of life. This kind of action should be applauded, period! Gene -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
