Another win for the good guys. Good thing the first thing on his mind was to grab the gun before they broke the door in. I wonder if he'll replace it with a sturdier door? Something reinforced maybe?

Good thing his gun was accessible because it sounds like he didn't have much time to react. An unloaded gun in a safe with a lock on the trigger would've been as useful as a toaster.

2. So.... These guys I just shot/at know where I live. Am I safe or do I need to fear revenge?
3. At least I am alive to contemplate #1 and #2.
