Sounds like the guy knew where to run.LOL. Don't think I'm against the police. They do a great job. I just believe in protecting myself.The police will be my first call if I'm ever forced to use my gun. I'll make the call after I defend myself.

The town chief told me once that if I had an intruder to make sure the body was found inside the house and not moving, preferably with some sort of weapon in its hand ...
When I lived in the county one of the deputies said that if anything ever happened to dump the body on the beach inside city limits ... Let them do the paperwork ...

Maryland is quite different.
We are 'required' to escape the danger, IF at all possible. (Up to and including evacuating our own house!!!)
IF we use 'deadly force', we must be in fear of our life, or the life of a loved one.
Many years ago (back in the early '70s), a man shot an intruder as he came through the window of his home, here, in Maryland.
The intruder fell backward and wound up outside the dwelling.
The homeowner was charged and prosecuted for murder.
The homeowner was acquitted, but not until after a lonnnnnng, lengthy trial. (And the homeowner has never gotten his revolver back, either!)

Remember they guy in Pasedena (Joe Horn) who shot 2 bad guys that were stealing from his neighbor while he was on the phone with 911 and being told not to get involved? The grand jury did not press any charges against him. We can even carry a pistol in our vehicle without any type of license.
I guess you could say we're just a tad more gun friendly down here.

In Texas we're 'required' not to injure innocent bystanders if we miss.

No one has ever come back from a gunfight wishing they had brought a smaller gun.
I'd rather be missed by a 45 then shot with a 22.
I don't get it.

In the "average" citizen involved shooting two to three shots are fired. I plan to be way above average.
Any gun is better than no gun.
There is a reason the 45 ACP is still a very popular gun.
Think Texas has gun friendly laws? Try Alaska "We Don't Have 911"
When in doubt empty the magazine, reload, and keep your weapon pointed at the threat while scanning with your eyes and head for more threats.
"AK-47. The very best there is. When you absolutely, positively got to kill every motherf#@%er in the room, accept no substitutes."
