Dave, I am so glad your parents were ok.

Heres a question to consider. If there were a way for your Dad to grab hold of the crook and keep him safely away from your Dad and his wife until the police arrived, would that of been good enough for you?

I know at this time there is really no way to do this, but who knows, maybe someone here at Mudcat could come up with something. Maybe a tranquilizer gun that works immediately. Or something else..

Then we wouldn't have to kill at all, well, not right away anyway.

L.A.
