i have desided on getting a Mossy 500 Persuader 20 ga for home defense. its the best i can do with what i got. i also have a Ruger 22/45 .22 LR for back up.
I live in CO, a state that has a "Make My Day" Law. It means basically that if someone breaks into my house and i feel that i am threatened, i have the right to use leathal force to defend my family and home without worry of prosecution or of being sued.
My question is; in a home invasion situation, would it be better to warn and/ or shoot the invader and if he tries to get away, let him go? Or would it be better to kill the individual?
if i let them go, how much should i fear the bad guy returning at some later date for another try at me and family, maybe with some "freinds" along with him? If i kill, i wouldnt have to worry about him coming back and being a continued threat. However, do these criminals network for the most part? would i have to worry about retaliation from freinds or family?
Thanks to all -Eric
