Well first I wouldn't have gone to check on the other house without my gun in the first place. If I had seen that someone was in one of my properties and I was going to confront them I would want to get my gun if I had left it at my home. On the way to getting it I would have called the cops, then, depending on how long I perceived the response time would be and if too long I may try to confront. I think that is justified up to that point. Now putting 4 shots through the shower curtain without verifying the person on the other side is a threat is where this guy went wrong. All that being said there is some definite spin going on in that article. Sounds like the "compassionate educator" employed by the local elementary school has some screws loose, possibly a perv who gets off breaking into people homes and using their showers and who knows what else. Maybe he didn't deserve to die but at least he isn't around kids anymore.

In this case he was in the shower and maybe drunk so unless he starts after you I am not sure how dangerous he is AND neither do you going back in. I would have called on duty LEO and watched and observed from a safe but reasonable distance to protect my home. Going back in is the issue here, you are out, your family is out and the guy is in your bathroom. Nothing good can come from re-entering the house without the police. Lawyers will eat this up I am sure. I am going to ask one of our prosecuting attorneys and see what he says. We have the same type law here to protect your "castle".

That's about as ignorant as chasing someone OUT of your house and then shooting them in the back in the front yard.
Further proof that some people shouldn't own firearms. |

As I said the shooter made a number of poor decisions and deserves what he will get.
So just to continue discussion, at what point do I no longer have a right to defend my property? The article said the second house was where he ran a business. Where does the law say I need to sit and watch someone break into my business and possibly destroy my livelihood? Yes I know in this case the burgler was just taking a shower but what if it were someone trying to steal or otherwise put my livelihood at risk? Say I own a jewelery store and I see a thief robbing my store? Do I have a right to try and detain them from fleeing before the police arrive? That was the angle I was getting at. If I see someone illegally on any of my property I can't gaurentee I will sit on my hands a wait for someone else to come and tell me they got away and my business is in shambles.

Yeah, the "compassionate educator" baloney raised red flags for me too.
And you know that with self defense cases, the media never gets the story right initially. We had one here in which the lawyer for the shooter worked in the same office building as I did. He told me that what happened wasn't at all what was being reported. The media had the guy painted as a heartless monster that chased down an unarmed boy and gunned him down in cold blood while the boy was begging for his life. When the facts came out...CASE DISMISSED
