well i've been reading alot of posts about home defense.i taught my wife how to load and shoot my shotgun in the case i am not home. she asked me is it legal to shoot someone in your house? i said well i'm sure it is. i'm not so sure. if someone breaks into my house after warning, if they do not retreat am i allowed to fire on them? will i go to jail for it?
second question about this is, i have a three year old so a rule we live by is never bringing ammunition into the house ammo is picked up on the way or at the shoot location.. where is a safe place to locate a few deffense shells, if they were locked in a box chances are we wouldnt get to them intime to to comfront an intruder. will a hidden inaccessible location due untill he comes of age? or is that unheard of?. perhaps a rule of thumb is never leave unlocked munitions in a home with a child. the guns are unlocked but so far there is no reason for panic as we have no ammo to fire the gun at anytime.. i know the kid can't load the gun, but i wouldnt want to get comfortable with leaving shells in the bed room unlocked. how do i maintain my hd kit.
