I shoot him deader then dirt on the spot. Gone!! No more passing GO! No
more collecting $200. 

I then dial 911, and tell them that I have just shot an intruder. Since
I am a single mom, with a teenage daughter, I am fairly confident that a
decent lawyer will do his job easily.

I then go to as many places as possible shouting as loudly as possible
that I thank God and my right to town a firearm. You know, do the talk
show circuits etc...:)
