News reports that a Fort Lauderdale homeowner caught a burglar who had broken into his house. The intruder refused to leave, causing the homeowner to shoot. The suspect was transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Details are sketchy. My recommendation is to always have both a pistol (with a light attache) AND a flashlight. However, I know in the heat of the moment, people will often grab just one item. If the pistol has a light attached, this drastically improves the user’s ability to identify threats.
