Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Just to get the minutia out of the way - you have to either subscribe or answer a survey question to read the rest of the story. Thank you, but no thank you.

She missed, and we are all standing up and cheering? Did the rest of the story tell where her bullet went?
I suppose I'm glad the burglar ran away, but I'm still stuck with where that bullet that "narrowly missed" went to.

And "narrowly missed"? How close can you miss is not a game I want to play. Ever since the myth was exploded that a .50BMG round will tear your arm off if it merely passes within a foot of you, missing just does not seem to have any value.

Nice going, granny - you drove the burglar away. But who or what got shot instead of him?

stay safe.
