Hi Skydiver,
We fixed the lights and did end up leaving them on all night. BTW, the incident occurred late June...we have since moved and are working on the new house.

My wife has shot her dad's .357 but prefers autos. She has a Makarov and a Taurus 24/7. She was listening for intruders in the far side of the house when she chambered a round...so she "rode the slide" to be quieter. She didn't realize it might cause the gun to feed improperly (which it did). We've worked on that already.
