"it wasn't necessary for him to shoot the unarmed intruder to defend himself or his children"
Well, it wasn't necessary for the burgler to break into his home eithr! When someone breaks into your home, the operating assumption is and should be that they are there to harm you and your family.
I wonder how the author of this article would feel if his home is invaded, while he and his family are at home.

The burglar was in the man's homefor the purpose of burgling. He was not invited. He knew his presence was unwelcome. He got shot. Pity.

You dont go into someone elses home you dont get shot.
I dont care if the man sat in his armchair armed to the teeth 24 hrs a day waiting for a burglar to show up. When someone breaks into your occupied home you have to assume that if he gets a chance he will harm or kill you.Shoot first, ask questions later.

SURE we can not have people defending their homes from criminals! WHY that would eliminate all our bigoted notions of gun control at risk! Typical leftist scum. Cannot debate the issue so they have to try and discredit the opposition.

he all but welcomed the confrontation in his home. That is ridiculous. DeMar did not invite the guy inside. He entered illegally for the purpose of theft and who knows what else. I have no sympathy for him.

The burglar is damn lucky he was not in Louisiana. We have a "shoot the burglar" statue which authorizes the use of deadly force if you find a person in your house, whether or not he/she is in fact not a burglar,it is assumed the intruder is a burglar with deadly intentions. Also there is a separate statue which designates one's own vehicle a legal extension of your home....

A revolver? In the home, is the time for 12 ga buckshot.
Trust me, after BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, he would not have been seeking care at the hospital to remove 27 9mm pellets.
Above all else, train, practice, train, practice.

it wasn't necessary for him to shoot the unarmed intruder to defend himself or his children,How could he be certain the intruder was unarmed until after he had arrested or shot him ? Since he is not a trained police officer it was safer to shoot than attempt an arrest.
The moral of the story: Don't break into someone's home, or don't live near Chicago.
