Here’s what I wrote in that post: “so if somebody breaks into your home, shoot ‘em through the wall!”

260. what ever: “This is probably the most irresponsible thing…”

Check the quote. Personally, I have no kids and nobody (and I mean nobody) should break into my home regardless of whether they’re bringing back my blender or whatever. It’s not irresponsible to fire a round or two through the wall if your house has been broken into. If I hear a window get broken or my front door get kicked in, I’m just not going to wait until I see the burgler to start sending rounds downrange. If they get a chance to see you, they might just get a shot off before you. It’s not a chance I’m willing to take! We’ve had a few home invasions recently in my neighborhood, so I’m just the least bit jumpy. I hope you understand.

I never claimed to be any sort of authority on firearms (although I actually am due to experience with firearms since childhood and from the fact that I was an officer at a correctional facility and often had to carry a gun in public (and had a good deal of training to do so)).

And I am very much responsible concerning firearms in my home, on the range, and while hunting.
