Homeowner shoots intruder dead, reportedly won't face charges. Neighbor says homeowner 'having a gun was a good thing.'

Not "fantasizing" at all. I'm considering what I would do in a given situation. After all...you asked!

The fantasizing is done by all the conservitards who keep a gun in the nightstand and think they'll convince their wives of their manhood by filling that thar varmint full o' holes. Or maybe the pizza delivery guy.

I think that anybody who isn't in a wheelchair would be able to get out of their own house. And I would get out, phone in hand, THEN call the police.

The asininity of your statements is that you ignore the danger posed by trying to apprehend the guy--even if you DO have a manly man gun. Unless you have experience with firearms AND you can completely keep your cool, you may be the one who is killed or injured, not the nogoodnik.

I realize that in many conservitard states, "stand your ground" is a mantra. But I live in a civilized state, and I have a "duty to retreat." In other words, if I can de-escalate a situation, it's my obligation to do so. Get the hell out of there and call the police.

I live in the country on an 2 acres.  I would only have 2 thoughts if someone was kicking in my door: 1.  The 9 MM with 15 rounds or the 12 Guage with 00 buckshot and a shell holder on the stock. I also find we have fewer shitbirds since we are legally able to open carry and conceal carry.  There's nothing better than seeing an old guy in the produce isle packing heat.  

I guess if you doubt your manhood, a gun (substitute penis) will make you feel better. It's not as if any women will do that for you.

Says the least toughest guy on this Forum.  

 I second that.

By antiquated conservitard standards,you may be right! Unlike you guys, I don't fantasize about killing people.

Equating willingness to murder people with "toughness" is...well, let's just say, debatable.

No, I'm just talking about general toughness.  Or not being a little weakling cowardly nerd if that helps you understand it better.  

I have mental and moral toughness. That's the only kind that matters.

Please don't neglect the opportunity to make some snide remark. You absolutely, positively don't have the mental or moral toughness to refrain.
