Frank Herrmann was at his secluded Killingworth, Conn., home one evening when he responded to noises from outside. Licensed for many years to carry a handgun, Herrmann armed himself with a .45-cal. pistol and carefully slid open a glass door. That's when he came face-to-face with an armed intruder who reportedly been crouching nearby, said sources who added that Herrmann fired only when the man raised the gun as if to fire. Police later launched a manhunt for the fleeing intruder who apparently had been shot through one leg. "Given the alternatives, I'm not disappointed with the way things turned out," said Herrmann. "I'm very deeply grateful that the outcome was as positive as it was for those who dwell in the house." (New Haven Register, New Haven, Conn., 12/4/99

Again, we need to thank the Founding Fathers who gave Mr. Herrmann, as well as all other law abiding citizens, the opportunity to protect themselves from criminals.
