Reply #38: What threat?

[Superfly]

Ummmm...somebody was breaking into his home. Should he have waited until the burglar was inside the home (affording him more places to hide and possible weapons to use against the homeowner)?

He is justified 100% by ending the threat as quickly as possible without exposing himself to danger. He could have availed himself of pepper spray, I guess, but then the threat would probably still be there.

I just wish he had used something a little bigger, like a 12 guage. This burglar is still alive, is probably pissed off to no end, and now knows the homeowner has at least one gun. If anything, he is a bigger threat now (or when he gets out of prison) than before.
