“Oddly enough, a year or so later, I do believe my Scout Platoon Sergeant did EXACTLY that. There is a suggestion that he let the intruder ‘bleed-out’ before calling 911.”

I don’t know if I’d put it that way.

I mean, heck, you’ve just shot your weapon at an intruder in your home in order to stop the threat.

Once the threat has been stopped, I’m aware of no provisions in my state code that say that I’m not free to resume my peaceable enjoyment of my lawful domicile.

So, if your lad saw fit to smoke a cigarette and use the head, then make a sandwich and finish watching a doubleheader while the miscreant was lying unthreateningly on his floor, I reckon that that’s entirely his own business.

Who am I to criticize someone’s choice of floor coverings?

Apparently no-one ELSE was in any great hurry.

Myself, I’d plan to ask the police to bring a few dozen Krispy-Kreme doughnuts,(my treat), and then put on a few pots of coffee while all the paperwork gets filled out.
