Nothing much to say except a criminal broke into a man’s house, the man had a shotgun. He first smacked the guy in the face with the butt of the gun which made the criminal flee. Having a change in heart the bad guy came back so the home owner shot the ground in front of him.
I’m in the school that says if you are in a situation where you need to bring out your gun you are in a situation where you need to use it.
