According to strongsville.patch.com, a Strongsville, Ohio family heard someone trying to break in when, “the husband yelled ‘get the gun’ and the burglar ran off, the report said. The residents didn’t get a good look at the fleeing man — only his shadow — but police got a description of a very tall man wearing a gray stocking cap.” Of course, if the family had lived in a common-sense gun control jurisdiction – one in which it’s highly unlikely a typical family would actually have a gun – things might have gone differently. Amazingly, there seems to be some value to keeping would-be home invaders guessing as to whether their potential victims will be armed.
