My family and I have noticed and paid particular attention to the rash of home invasions that have been occurring around the west Michigan area and all over the united states.
A young women (24?) on the west side of our state went out to feed her horse and a man came up behind her held a knife to her throat, a fight took place, she was stabbed in the leg. The lucky thing was she was carrying a hand gun, shot at the guy twice and he escaped.
A group of home invasions took place in and around Ionia they showed a pic on the news of the guys group of guns that had been recovered, I am sure they are all in a data base now.
I really get upset, when I see these home invasions on the news daily / nightly.
I do not see our justice / correction system stopping these people from doing this.
Of all the offences that can be done in the world, some one breaking in to your home and assaulting you or a family member in my opinion should be subject to capital punishment if convicted.
On another tangent of this subject, I can not get my girls, Wife and two daughters, interested enough in protection so they can defend themselves, I am only at the house 20 percent of the time as I work 50 hours a week and farm on the side.
The lack of interest for these girls bothers me, my wife is a little more educated than my oldest daughter, but I would like to see it be second nature for them as it is for me, to grab the rifle, turn the safety off, acquire a target and fire. This only comes with practice, they have this idea in there minds that I will do the dirty work if necessary, but I am only at the house a minimal amount.
Run on I know but this subject bothers the shit out of me.
