3 different Detroit homeowners defend themselves against intruders...

Tell me even crackheads won't get the message. Now tell me how this situation would be better if the victim was unarmed, please.

YAY! That's how fight back against the crooks. With a piece!

They won't. Do you think they watch the evening news? Read the Detroit Free Press? Doubtful.

Can someone post break-in stats for Detroit, and stats for dead perps?

Sadly, no members of David Saul Berkley's family are alive to answer your question...& they didn't go out painlessly.

As for the guy worried that "Gun Nuts" will seize upon these statistics-your worries are certainly in strange places. This is not a new phenomena here. After we got mugged a woman @ wayne State was explaining to my mom she encountered a guy in her closet. Her husband shot him 3x. He stumbled bleeding out their door, where a co-defendant picked him up. They knew from past experiences it wasn't worth calling the cops over....and that was 1971.

^^^ Strange man in woman's closet? Perhaps he stopped by to do the dishes or change the litter box?

Followed by a potential 'ballistic' clothing alternation - a bit of letting out, or a bit of tucking in, etc.
