excerpted quote:
He's not a paraplegic; there is no paralysis. He's a double amputee who used to outrun most other boys in his age group when he was 12 - on his stumps. Just my opinion: Given his youth, athletic ability, and training with guns, he has less to fear from an intruder, even on his stumps, than your average Joe.OP is a paraplegic and so likely grew up feeling somewhat vulnerable (psychological state different from the norm).
