Third, anyone that breaks in or tries to rip me off while I'm home will leave a really ugly corpse, because I WILL kill anyone, with no hesitation, who comes in my home unwelcomed! I live in a very weed-UNfriendly part of the U.S., but it is also one of the most gun and self defense-friendly areas, so the law is not even a concern. By my state law, if you come in my home unwelcomed, I have every right to kill you on the spot. Period. By coming in my home unwelcomed you present yourself as an immediate threat to the safety and sanctity of my family and home, therefore by law I have every right to kill you by whatever means. Plus, it doesn't hurt that I am a very serious combat handgun competitor (IPSC -- and I've competed in 8 National Championships and dozens of State and Regional Championships, plus I taught self-defense shooting and Tactical Urban combat for several years. More than a few of my former students are over in Afghanistan now [ALL on the U.S. side!!!], ie pulling a gun on me is NOT a smart thing to do!!!
And I don't worry about the cops afterward because my grow is so well hidden. Like I keep telling folks over and over --- stay below the radar and don't draw attention to yourself or your grow, and you'll be relatively secure/safe.
