I'd always thought I'd be one to run out with my baseball bat. As a gun owner, and someone who supports Castle protection, I have nothing against protecting one's property. That said...I don't want to kill anyone. My brain switched gears when I realized what was happening, and I only had 2 thoughts: 1) I was so angry that someone had the nerve to come back and try to steal from me again 2) I needed to get him on video because I then we could track him. I did not even stop to consider grabbing a weapon and pounding the crap out of the guy, nor did I have the time to do so....but I was not scared or intimidated at all by him either. Only later did my neighbor point out that I ran out there (only half dressed!) to confront this guy while he was carrying a big wrench and could have easily tried to run me over as well.
Interesting to see how I reacted versus how I would be claiming to react if I were just commenting on someone else's Beyond thread.
