Is that how the English say "kill them"?

Funny thing about Colorado - You are only "allowed" to shoot a BG if he's "demonstrating intent" to harm you while inside of your house! What a load of crap. If I wake up in the middle of the night and find some guy walking around in our house looking around - he's going down, and I'll question him later if he's still breathing.

The stupid law actually creates the incentive for a second shot. If he's still breathing, you know he'll end up suing you later as he tries to prove how he was "harmlessly" walking around in your house. So...........boom, boom. No witnesses. But you do need to carry plenty of ammo because if he's in your house with buddies, you'll pretty much need to make sure you get all of them.

Good point. I guess you have to take out his wallet, see where he lives, then drive there and take care of them too.

Keep a couple of rolls of this stuff handy for those wrapping projects, scout out a dumping site beforehand and bring an accelerant to destroy any physical evidence.

Good advise about a local range for advise and trying out what feels good in your hand. Lots of choices in calibers small and big bore. Grips smooth or soft rubber. Barrel lengths for range accuracy. Then decide.
Some folks buy the gun first which is backwards...

Got a Rem.7400 for christmas. I'd like to leave it loaded beside my bed but i have little kiddies and have to hide the ammo. Besides the only intruders we're apt to have here is a bear or two.
