Yes my thought post was tongue in cheek. Stemming from the response I got in the Ward Bird gun thread. People say not to use a weapon unless you are in mortal fear for your life. Yet this guy took on a burglar, OUTSIDE of his home with a hockey stick. (Yes convenient to find one on the ground outside his home eh?) This over simple possessions. So if and I say IF he did knock the guy on the head and killed one of them, what would/should happen to the homeowner?
Myself I am still in the mind that if some burglar did that to me.....You would never hear about it. I would simply drag the guy off to some undisclosed area and dump the body......Let the woodland creatures have some tasty treats....
