Man Kills Robbers While On Phone With 911

You can get away with it in VA too. Rule number one, always say you thought he had a knife in his hand... and make sure you put a screw driver in his hand after you shoot him.

I would not venture to a neighbor's property in this situation unless I though they were home. If they were home and such a thing were going down I would kill the intruders. I would give them zero opportunity to show me a weapon. I would surely think "bang, you're dead" but I hardly think I would proclaim it aloud. It has been said already in this thread that if you are going to introduce a firearm into a situation such as this the intent needs to be to kill. A gun should never be pointed at anyone or used for intimidation. It is a tool of protection, not something to be taken lightly. Fuck people who break into a persons home and rob them. That sort of shit can ruin people for life...make them never feel safe again. Heaven help someone who breaks into this house.

Very true, my sister has GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder), which the doctors say was triggered by a Home Invasion. Some construction workers from a house down the street tried to break into our house while she was home asleep, luckily the alarm was on and it was enough to deter them and they left. Needs less to say she woke up (14 at the time) home alone with the Alarm blaring and the back door glass broken. She has to take a pill everyday and doesn't feel safe alone ever and will go as far as having a panic attack if she is. She is now 18.

Because of that event, if I ever saw someone on my parents property or my own and they even looked threatening I would not think twice about yielding a firearm for my protection. Luckily this was in Texas.

Hell no, if they were home I'm not going over there, that's a damn good way to get YOURSELF shot!

I would not just stand by and let an innocent person's life be endangered by something like this. I understand the risks, but as said above, I would want my neighbor to do the same for me. I'm not talking about stealing some TV or bullshit, I'm talking about people in their house asleep or whatever and being invaded. These dipshits deserved what they got, who the fuck robs someone in broad daylight? Bang...you're dead.

i just read the article for the first time. He must've been shootin' the high brass, or standing right up on them. But, to be fair, he could've had his 30 30 out..i vote for leniency.
