A home invasion in Graves County has homeowners wondering what their rights are when protecting their homes.
Kentucky State Police investigators say a homeowner shot and killed 46-year-old Timothy Roper, who is accused of breaking into the home with two other people, beating and robbing the elderly homeowner.
The neighborhood where it happened is in Boaz, Kentucky. Lawrence Bermingham lives across from where the home off of McNeil Lane. He said the neighborhood used to be a peaceful place, which is why he moved there to retire. The neighborhood is shocked by the news of the break-in. |

"The break-in has multiple neighbors concerned about their safety and wondering what their rights are in protecting their homes."
The fact that there are Americans who are so naďve that they have to ask this question is disgusting.
“To be honest with you, I keep a gun by my night stand, and I plan to keep myself protected,” Bermingham said.
Which is good when you're in bed. You should keep it on your person, ready to go, ALL THE TIME. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
