Homeowner-1, Burglar-Taken out of the gene pool

[Hawk78th]

" Gun control" ....is being able to hit your Target

... looks like  the homeowner might be an NRA member...?  !

There was one sure fire, absolutely positive way to avoid this horrible and deadly outcome.

The bozo should not have broken into the home.

I won't risk my families or my life trying to figure out the intention of these idiots.  They can avoid all the horrors of being shot and save their families grief simply by not entering my home

Good for the home owner.

Both were black and not illegals.

Absolutely correct.

Right and wrong.

"Pasadena police said Joe Horn shot Hernando Torres and Diego Ortiz as they ran away from a home they broke into in the 7400 block of Timberline in the Village Grove East subdivision on Nov. 14.  Torres and Ortiz were in the United States illegally, detectives said."

Every thief is a weasel.  If my step brother had been shot dead on the streets rather then being caught by the police, I wouldn't think any different.  You pay to play.

I would have no problem living in a society where thieves were summarily executed---my most recent reminder of this stance WAS a $1,500 log splitter

Year after year you hear read stories about someone shooting and killing a loved one, thinking they were a burgular...I bet they wish they had a little more constraint, and investigated the situation a little more...

I think every person has the right to defend their family and their home, and although I think its scary that people get to become the jury, the judge and the executioner, part of me thinks at least it gets the scumbag off the streets, unlike a passive sentence which will have the criminal doing the same thing 18 months from now...

I'd like to say that people should use more caution and give warning, but then again, if the guy has a gun, that warning could be his trigger to start shooting into your home...Tough situation, but the more I think about it, if I wake up at 2 am and find a guy half way in my window, i'm most likely firing a shot into him.

You read about that because it fits their (anti-gun/New York media) mindset, FAR more difficult to read about a guy saving his/family's arse with a gun

edit: When you are old enough to have gotten enough watermelon stolen from you (that YOU worked and paid for) by these punks, you may see may things in a different light

Apparantly during your initial reading, and second editing, you failed to read the remainder of my post, where I said I would most likely shoot.

I don't see how age has anything to do with this, because by the time I was 20, my car was stolen, and broken into twice.

And for your information, I have lived on my own since 18, and at 24, I OWN a house, which I PAID FOR.  But maybe I just work hard to keep myself out of area's of high burgulary...

honestly...Why don't you actually read before making one of your smart as$ comments.

Everyone must make up their own mind what they will do in a situation like this. Shooting dead an intruder, especially at night, should always be legally justified imo.

I love a story with a happy ending.

I read it again...you're trying to see both sides of the situation, which is commendable in most situations. I guess I would be satisfied with lopping his hands off

I'd like to say the best thing to do would be looking at both sides, but sometimes that work...Ideally, if I were in the situation, I would hold the robber at gun point until the police arrived, and not fire until another threatening action was made...However, if giving benifit of the doubt to a robber that has no regard for life, and he ends up shooting you and leaving your wife a widdow and children without a father...well...my logic goes right out the window...

its a tought situation, and I hope none of you guys on here, anyone I know for that matter has to deal with it.
