One thing that has crossed my mind many times, is how I would be judged by a jury. Would I get some tree huggin', life lovin', rainbow knitting, fairy do gooder? Or would I get a jury of people that think that my actions were truly justified? In the split second that I dropped the assailant, my life would forever change. I would either live with the image ingrained in my head of dropping the guy and thankful that my family was safe and carry on my life as normal. OR, I would now be locked up behind bars because I didn't call 911 and wait for them to respond.

Don't get me wrong, I know I would shoot, I'm just sayin'......

Seems like either way, it's a big gamble. Shoot and you could be screwed, don't shoot and you are screwed along with your loved ones.

I think it's a roll of the dice on how the jury is feeling that day.

I would like to think that somehow, someway justice would be served by the courts, but in the homeowners favor and not the slain assailants.
