Lemme see heah...
Cost of apprehension, plus the cost of incarceration, plus the cost of adjudication, plus the cost of additional incarceration, plus all the welfare costs when they finally get out--gotta be thousands upon thousands of dollars...
Versus the cost of ammo, and let's assume the homeowner used a whole box, plus the cost of two paupers graves...
I'd say the state and the taxpayers got a helluva deal.
More armed homeowners with a similar attitude and ability, and we could severely limit that particular occupational choice for the bad guys.
Ah'm jus sayin'
