A Coon Rapids man shot and killed an intruder inside his home late Monday night, according to the Anoka County Sheriff's office. The 73-year-old homeowner called Coon Rapids police to report the shooting, the sheriff's office said. Officers found the dead man in the home in the 11700 block of Bittersweet Street.
According to KSTP-TV, the homeowner told police that the suspect kicked in his rear garage door. The homeowner then shot the intruder with a rifle, the station said.
The homeowner said he heard people talking and believes there was a second suspect who escaped, KSTP reported. The dead man was not carrying any identification, the station said.

Is MN going to switch to a "castle doctrine" or "stand your ground" type legal protection for those who defend themselves? Or are tehy still on the idiotic "if you shoot him and he falls back out of your house we'll prosecute you for murder" BS?
I'm interested as I'm slated to move back to MN, for family reasons, next summer.

Castle doctrine is already in place.
Stand your ground (in public) was brought up last year. It doesn't stand a chance after the latest election, however.

Kicking in the garage door should be sufficient cause. Keep in mind, CR is not a Lib fever swamp like Minneapolis.

Yeah... I grew up in Anoka. Things have changed a bit in the 6+ years I've been gone. But not that much...

True to form, channel 4 news is reporting that the homeowner used a small caliber handgun.

We lived in Prior Lake for 16 years. Great town and great state to live in. State government seemed a little gold-plated tho...

Gold plated?
Ya' think?
I went to several of the anti-tax "Give It Back" rallies before moving to Texas.

Yep. Heard about that. Was never an uber-Lewis fan. Still, I'd give him a listen every now and then.
I did listen to a lot of Garage Logic during my drive time though. Joe and Rookie were a hoot. I still catch them on the web every now and again....
