#1 Well, it's Laforcornia... so they'll prolly decide to lock up the old man - prolly sentence him to 20 years at hard counseling.

#2 I remember one home invader who picked the wrong old man to try to thump and rob. Turns out the victim had been a British infantry veteran from the Burma campaign. According to the newpaper he "stabbed" the home invader.

According to the police, he gutted him like a deer.

#3 It diesn't say much for the Wheaton terrier as a breed if two of them couldn't ward off a prowler.

I wonder what it was that looked like a pistol in his hand.

#4 even we Californians have home defense capabilities. I'd suggest if ya don't believe me - we can arrange your random date home invasion ~~death~~ :-)

#5 Don't lump all of California together folks. I agree with Frank, anyone breaks into my home is likely to get a .357, or .40 caliber, or even 7mm Mauser sized hole in their head. Actually probably multiple holes if I still feel threatened after the first magazine.

And I'm probably the least armed of my friends. Hate to see what would happen if someone broke into one of their houses.
