    Re: If An Intruder Entered Your Home What Would You Do? No problem here in MS. State law allows use of force to defend self and they don't have to be inside the house. So stay out of the house, off the porch and off the property.

    The wife has already told me that I cannot stay home all day. I will be forced to leave home and go somewhere for some period of time. No problem when the weather is nice and the golf course is dry. Otherwise I may be out in the barn working on some project or other.
