I have never shot at a guy, I don't want a manslaughter or muder charge against me, but I have racked off a couple of shots in the air when a guy was trying to break into my 84 Cadillac Deville to steal my subs and amps. (4 15" MTX Thunder 8000, 2 Alpine 1500W amps) He ran like the wind....the cops got `em though. It pays to have the police frequency programed into your fire department 2 way radio! Helluva lot faster than 911!
