In the DR, if you hire an armed (gun) "Watcheeman" from a Security Company and he shoots & kills an intruder, you have no problems with the police or the family of the intruder. The Company simply sends the watchman back to his remote village in the campo.
However, if you personally hire a man as a watchman and give him your gun to use, and he kills an intruder, then you have 2 problems,#1 with the police, who will put you in jail until the lawyers sort it out with your money.
#2 with the family of the dead intruder, who will make your life miserable when finally get out of jail. (Correct me if I'm wrong on this please Mr. Guzman). Canadian Bob
