No flashlight. There is enough ambient light in the house to see if there are any
large, out-of-place objects (read perps). Besides, it's my turf. Lighting the place
up and/or giving away my position is to the bad guys advantage, not mine.

VCR in his hands? If I can clearly see that's all he has in his hands, he may live.
If I can't see both hands I open fire and continue to fire until he's down. If I can
see his hands, there's a slim chance I'll give him the opportunity to give himself
up. Depends on his attitude/demeanor.

Yeah, some will say "why even give him the chance?". Because if I live through it, I
want to be able to live with it. I'm not the least bit concerned with local state or
federal laws ( I don't let the gov'ment dictate my morals one way or the other), but
again, when all is said and done, I'm the one who (hopefully) has to live with the
outcome.

How'd I score, teach?
