Outcast: This statement really worries me. Responsible firearms ownership not only encompasses a set of legal obligations, but also a set of moral ones as well.

Your statement worries me. No doubt we all have morals, but also no doubt that our morals are not the same. That is why we have laws.

On another note, while everyone has chimed in about self defense laws, and how they would justify their actions, it occurs to me that everyone who has done so has operated on the premise that the "perp" does not survive the encounter, and is therefore, not a witness. How will you justify it if the person survives to give a statement ? Inquiring minds want to know ?

Shooting an intruder breaking in and the intruder survives to give a statement? No problem. My actions will be covered by a variety of laws.

My point being, did the coed do anything that might have made the home-owners think she might bring a weapon to bear? Drunk women can still hurt even healthy males, if they have the tools and the will to use them.

Right, and just because the person breaking in to your home is a neighbor does not mean that they aren't there to do you harm. It is not uncommon for the person making entry to be familiar with the house or the occupant and be a neighbor.
