Re: Almost caught a pervert last night ....

Wheres about in Florida is this?

When I was in 6th grade somebody tried to break into my house through my bedroom window. Since then I have slept with a baseball bat next to My bed.

If He comes back, I hope you get him and put him down for good.

Re: Almost caught a pervert last night ....

Definately wait for him to come at you or endanger you. Then drop the perp. Sad to say when I took my CPL Class the sheriff deputy said use store bought loads (no reloads), and plan on a civil law suit later from the surviving family. It is most definately a PITA but 8' x 10' is pretty small.

Ive said it once and ruffled some feathers but Ill say it again. Get a big a$$ dog that will dismember any perp affecting your families well-being. Sorry if it sounds bad.
Big ass dogs rule!

Maybe this is a boy at school tha has a crush? I'd protect my family the same way. If intruder is in the house shoot them first ask questions later.

Re: Almost caught a pervert last night ....

I've thought about posting this little story for awhile...but didn't want to throw it out there because it may distract from your original post. But, now that many have had their say, here's a little (true) story for you.

This happened in the late 1990's. My Dad is asleep in bed - about 2:00am (he lives alone). He hears a bunch of noise but has been in a pretty deep sleep. He starts waking up a bit and grabs his gun while he's still laying in bed. He gets out of bed and looks out his bedroom door to see a kid standing there. Dad points the gun at the kid and tells him to get down on the ground. The kid complies and starts crawling back toward the living room. Dad grabs the phone and calls 911 while he still has the gun drawn on the kid. The kid had thrown bricks through the front picture window of Dad's house and had gone through double-paned glass (he threw more than 1 brick). Anyway...kid is crawling toward the door thinking he will escape, but Dad has security doors and you need the key to open them (even from the inside).

Needless to say - kid went to jail. Dad was very freaked out, but he said the only reason he didn't shoot the kid was because initially he thought it was my brother - or at least he looked like my brother. At some point, the kid and his parents came to meet my Dad and to thank him for not killing the kid. Dad even said the kid was a decent kid, but was apparently "hopped up" on something and had gotten control of whatever issues he had.

What's my point? Dad is so much better off for not having killed this kid even though he had every right. I'm sure at the time you're being threatened, it's the "fight or flight" response, but had he not kept a level head, he may be seeing that incident in his nightmares to this day. Just sayin.

Re: Almost caught a pervert last night ....

There's a story over on IH8MUD that's at least peripherally related to this one:

Re: Almost caught a pervert last night ....

I seriously do not want to kill this dude just for the sake of killing him. I want my family safe and I'd like to think I made the world as a whole a little safer by removing a threat to my family and others as well. Catching the guy would address these concerns if I could only feel confident that by catching him, he truely would be taken off of the streets permanently. If he is a sicko, I would hope he would get help and never threaten another soul, I'm just not sure if the ever really happens. If after collecting the evidence I determine that he really *is* a pervert and that he is *still* stalking my daughter, then I feel it is best that I treat him like a rabid dog and put him down, as long as I do so legally.

I don't disagree with your stance at all...just wanted to share something that might be of value to you if you are forced into a situation where you need to make a gut decision.
