That's what the boys said on their way home.

Eta: most of the people are very confused and apologetic. Some just laugh it off and leave. A few were fun and easy on the eyes, so got invited to hang out, and did.

It would probably happen less if I actually locked the door.

If i found someone in my home I would assume they were a criminal and demand they get the ◊◊◊◊ out immediately.

If I was lucky enough to have my gun Id tell my wife to call 911 and Id hold the guy for the police, especially if he had a weapon.

Were I of a meaner mindset, I could probably have a half dozen notches on my shotgun and no charges filed against me under Castle Doc and the like.

I asked basically the same thing back in 2018 and was immediately accused of having an ulterior motive.

Is a well-regulated Militia still necessary for the security of a free State?

I can see that it once may have been. Especially in the earlier days of the United States, where the reach of government may have been limited and anti-British attitudes high, and before the country had a large permanent military. But I can't see how it could possibly still be relevant today.

The United States military is more than capable of defending the country's interests against foreign foes, and has been doing so for over a century. And I don't see how militias could possibly defend the people if the...
