Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between burglary and home invasion?

A burglary involves unlawful entry with intent to commit a crime, often when no one is home. A home invasion is a more violent crime where intruders enter an occupied dwelling, posing an immediate threat to the lives of the occupants.

Why is it important to have a weapon-mounted light (WML) for home defense?

WMLs are crucial for positive target identification in dark environments. This prevents accidental shootings of family members or others in the home by clearly distinguishing threats from non-threats before engaging.

What are the legal risks of chasing fleeing home invaders?

Chasing fleeing suspects outside your secure location significantly increases tactical danger and creates substantial legal liability. Firing shots at retreating individuals is difficult to justify as an immediate threat of death or great bodily harm.
