In the last 3 mo we've had 3 news-worthy break-ins in Omaha. They all followed the same pattern:

- The intruder was high on crack or pcp. Evidently they get very warm in this condition so they strip naked before they go intruding. People, it's been COLD here the last 3 mo. Running around naked at night in the middle of winter is not good for the extremities.

- They seem to gain strength in this condition. One intruder required 6 officers to be subdued. Another was shot 4 times before he even slowed down.

- Then the mother appears on TV crying about the loss of her blessed angel. One even said her kid was trying to kick the drugs. Yeah right, I'm sure he was breaking in to a stranger's house in the middle of the night to ask for directions to the nearest rehab center.

Grizz is right, you better be ready to fire several rounds. They are not in a normal state of mind and it will take a lot of force to subdue them. I don't own a gun and hopefully won't need to, but you have to do what makes you feel safe.
