[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] The media tends to make the erroneous assumption that criminals don't care about witnesses. The facts do not back this up. Nor do the numbers of unarmed homeowners killed after suprising burglars. ANY person entering your house without your permission is a threat. Someone entering your house while you are HOME is likely to kill you. Why? Because, since criminals don't like witnesses, he's probably already planned for that contingency, and it doesn't worry him. Why should it worry you? And a crowbar is an effective murder weapon. Brandishing it when it is no longer needed is a clear sign that it's going to be used for a purpose other than prying the window open. Shooting to wound is a clean and easy way to bankrupt yourself and your family, because a surviving criminal will no DOUBT sue you, even if it IS frivolous. This is even more likely in a country like the US, which does not have a 'loser pays' lawsuit system to help prevent such things. [/QB][/QUOTE]
