I've already talked about this in more detail on another gun thread. There were a lot of burglaries in a low populated community north of Anchorage, Alaska. A local minister came into his church when the burglers were in the basement loading up on stuff. No other folks around. He plugged them both on their way past him out the door. I believe the wounds were in their backs. He was arrested by local constabulary and put on trial. It split the community and many letters to the paper were sent. He was put on trial before a jury of his peers and testified he was afraid for his life. Do I need to tell you the determination?

So the system works.
