I don't, however, have too much of a problem with him shooting the guy, whether on accident or not, in his own home.
No offense, but that is why you live where you do, and we live here.

The only thing I fault the homeowner for is poor marksmanship, but it wasn't his piece and the sights may have been off. He didn't hit anyone else, regardless.

A man comes into my house with a gun in his hand and evil intent, I would track him to the end of the Earth to be sure that SOB never threatened anyone again.

If he was bold enough to come after me, he would have no compunction about going after my mother, my wife, or my kids.

We have a major problem with criminal predators here that I do not believe you have. Come live in a major US city for a while and read the paper daily.

That scumbag needed to die. I would help him reach fulfilment.
