I've often wondered what would happen if a neighbor looked in the window and noticed me snooping around my own house at 3am with my flashlight. I don't like to turn on the lights when I go for a drink of water, as it kills my night vision much more than just using a small handheld light to navigate the stairs.

I probably look just like a burglar would look if he was trying not to wake up the family sleeping upstairs. That's because I'm trying not to wake up the family sleeping upstairs.

Note: There have been an alarming number of burglaries in the area lately, some that have resulted in confrontations with homeowners (one that resulted in shots fired by a homeowner who the badguys didn't realize was home, and one I would classify as a real "home invasion" with the badguys dressed as utility workers and forcing their way in once the door was opened. Nobody was hurt, but scary nonetheless). If I saw someone waking in my neighbors house at 3am with a flashlight right now, I'd likely call it into the police.

the other thing? A home invasion, shots fired, no one hurt? He just broke half the rules on gun control, the big one being, don't shoot at something you don't intend to hit.
