Comments on: Sandy Springs blotter: Home burglaries and thefts http://blogs.ajc.com/view-from-cop/2009/08/19/sandy-springs-blotter-home-burglaries-and-thefts/ Sandy Springs' police information officer on criminal Einsteins and the cops who outwit them Mon, 04 Apr 2011 21:23:08 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: KennesawDave http://blogs.ajc.com/view-from-cop/2009/08/19/sandy-springs-blotter-home-burglaries-and-thefts/comment-page-1/#comment-1097 KennesawDave Sat, 29 Aug 2009 16:51:10 +0000 http://blogs.ajc.com/view-from-cop/?p=166#comment-1097 I would be curious to know whether all the apartment break ins were into 1st floor/ground floor apartments or if the burglars entered upper floor apartments as well. I've always heard that if you live on the 2nd or 3rd floor of an apartment building you are less likely to be broken into. Not sure if that's true after what I read though. In fact I'm starting to think I may need to drop by my local gun shop and invest in a firearm of some kind.

That is, at what point in a home invasion do you get to fire the most powerful handgun in the world at him (and blow his head clean off)?" None of the above....there is no blanket answer. You have the right to defend yourself when you reasonably belive that yourself or another is in danger of receiveing great bodily harm. “At what point does a burglar become a reason to “make your day”?

The dog did not bark when the intruder snapped a rear window lock but instead played a game with him by waiting out of sight until he stepped into the room. At that time he attacked and chewed up his face, arms, and legs. The intruder was cornered by the owner who called police. At arraignment the man testified that he got the wrong house and thought he was really visiting the home of a friend. The judge said "you sure did get the wrong house" and disclosed that the intruder was in the country illegally. A friend with a trained guard dog had a break-in.

So they had to actually trap you in the home.. or perhaps that was just out in public. And I think there used to be a requirement to flee, yeah?
