Defense



I had Caleb on here  last night as well. But let's face it. I have more pictures of him. I expect he'll be in
sports of some kind. He seems to be leaning that way. He sure looks good with that hockey stick. I can hardly wait until he gets into competitive team sports.  I would be willing to guess that he would put the other team on defense. We'll see.

Speaking of defense:  I never imagined it would get so bad, but there is a New York man who had to post a $250,000 bail in order to  go home to his family. He is facing three years in prison for using a firearm to frighten off a home intruder. That's right. He was defending himself. Did he shoot it? No. Did he harm the bandit in any way? Well he may have hurt his feelings. All he did was point a gun, registered to his body guard, at this thief in his own house. Yes, in his own house.  The man broke in to rob and ran out when the gun was pulled. It happened in January...so we might presume he got cold when he went outside.  Is there any common sense left???

The gun belonged to the homeowner's body guard, so it makes sense it was in his home. When the police came he told them what had happened and had a surveillance tape as a backup.  But, instead of congratulating him and going back to work fighting crime,  they arrested him for possessing an illegal gun. It was a legal gun. Remember it was registered to his body guard. And not only that but he had been the victim of multiple burglaries. He feared for his life, yet he couldn't even draw a gun on an intruder.
