I would be shaken up if someone broke into my home and I would absolutely try to defend myself. Imagine having it happen again the next night too. 

Home defense is always a fun topic. It’s one that we often overthink, but for good reason. Our home is our sanctuary, our hideaway, our safe space.

A San Antonio homeowner fatally shot a man earlier this week when he found the stranger sitting in his car.

A man stole a chainsaw last month before being shot and killed by the Indiana homeowner he stole it from. 

“It was like a movie,” Smith said. “Me and him wrestling over the gun.”

A 76-year-old Florida homeowner woke up to find his wife being attacked last week and shot the burglar in the shoulder.
