As a fellow missourian I have to ask where the hell was this at? Anywhere near St. Charles? I got to get the AK out now. (the AR has jammed a few times, the AK never has)
Good luck Shamus, hope someone catches the bastards soon.

I live just outside of Harrisburg, which is just a little north west of the Finger Lakes conservation range. Sort of out in the sticks. Which is what makes this even more suprising. It amazes me that somebody would be stupid enough to do a "hot" home invasion around here, considering how many people have dogs and guns. But apperently this guy either wasn't armed, or didn't have a gun close enough.
I'm not going to make that same mistake.
And no, I don't have kids, so no worries there.
I've always kept my pistols with loaded mag, and empty chamber. But now I'll be keeping a round in the chamber. At least for the next week or so.
And I think I'll start taking one to work with me as well, that way I can have one on me when I enter the house in the evening as well.
