Glad to hear that you are ok Bando... I had a similar experience while living in La Crosse. A guy in a ski mask was trying to break in to my back door (I happened to see this while up in the middle of the night taking care of nature). It was hunting season so my 12 gauge was sitting by the front door. I loaded the gun, walked to the back of the house and slid the action on the gun. The guy froze, put his hands up and we chatted quietly until the police got there. He was 28 yrs old, had two priors for burglary and admitted that he had never been that scared in his whole life. He actually asked me not to shoot him about 10 times in the 3 minutes it took the cops to show... Never had another problem at home http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
