- Unless you're exposing yourself or loved ones to a clear and present danger, it
- is best to let "the bad guy" leave. Remember, you're in a defensive role.
- Anything else is likely to result in an indictment for homocide.

- As to what you tell the cops - ASK YOUR LAWYER. Few of the fine folks following
- this group are practicing criminal lawyers. If you do employ lethal force,
- insist on legal counsel before discussing anything with anybody. It's your
- right. They might not like it, but the good guys are entitled to the same
- privileges as the bad guys.
