In some states, the homeowner would have been arrested for stealing the burglars gun. Yeah, or possessing an unregistered weapon.

When dirtbags like this plead for their lives, pause very briefly and consider what they had planned for you. If you STILL dont want to rid society of some bona fide scum, kneecap them. It will be extremely painful and guarantees that they are not running anywhere - ever. I might give them a minute or two to make their peace with their maker, but that's about all.

I agree, but killing both of them would bring lots of grief in court, Im afraid. But they couldn't testify against you....or sue you for kneecapping them either.
Better to be judged by twelve than be carried by six.

Afterward, the men ran off, but they turned around and shot at the house. One of the bullets grazed the homeowner's shoulder.This is why I wouldn't convict someone who shot at a burglar when he was running away. You still may not be safe, even if they are running away.

I could actually see that happening in Kalifornia and Massivetwoshits!
I mean, heck in DC they would arrest the home owner for stealing the gun and then charge him with illegal possesion!

Food for thought. How the heck did they get in without waking up the couple? Did they leave a door unlocked?

What I got from the story was that after he disarmed them, he did not believe there was still a threat, until after they escaped. Story was kind of confusing.

I have bars on my windows and two dogs sleeping in the bedroom. If anyone still manages to break in, they are going to die and pleading won’t help.

“Afterward, the men ran off, but they turned around and shot at the house. One of the bullets grazed the homeowner’s shoulder.”
This is why I wouldn't convict someone who shot at a burglar when he was running away. You still may not be safe, even if they are running away.
Exactly. If they have a weapon that reach out at a distance, you most certainly do not know if they are “running away” or only trying to get to a better tactical position.

Wouldnt surprise me if they come back and kill the homeowners.That's what's always in the back of my mind - THEY know YOUR address, but you don't know theirs. Take care of the problem now. I never could figure when someone says "I'll get you for this" why the rejoinder isn't "We'll settle this NOW!".

first, pardon me, as I replied ot the wrong post...should have been 17, not 18. That may be why my reply seemed a bit out of context to your post.
second, good perimeter awareness and control is prudent. The dog is good for this!

In this case it applies to both the invaders and the invadees....
