Since my 1911 is on the night stand, . . . both MBR's are in the safe, . . . I don't feel there is much of a chance of needing an MBR during a break in or a full fledged home invasion.

I do, however, have "hopefully" enough layers of security, that if it becomes a home invasion type, . . . when the door gets kicked, . . . I'll be ready and I'll have the MBR.

I will involve myself in the purposeful intent of sending as much lead down range as I can in a very short time, . . . and part of that scenario is to intimidate the other guys enough that they just may decide that the next house down the road may look more inviting.

I'll get my hearing checked after I have repaired the door, the windows, the roof, and whatever else needs touched up. Hopefully, I will be vindicated by the LEO's, . . . but if not, . . . someone else hit the right idea of jail being preferable to a personal and final trip to the morgue.

May God bless,
Dwight
