Duty to retreat, absolutely ridiculous. Retreat while the homeowner gets a bullet in the back of the head or gets held at gunpoint while his wife and kid are raped. This would have been quite a different story if these two punks were found with guns on them or were suspected in a home invasion murder.

1. Invading persons are much younger.
A. Strength is on their side.
B. Speed is on their side.
2. Invading persons outnumber the homeowner.
1. & 2. above amount to “preponderance of force”.
Question #2 (inspired by your post but not challenging your position):
How many home invaders “were” there? 2? 3? 4? 2 entering, one sentry, and one driver?
Who knows.
Could an armed sentry enter after they’ve been hit (especially if it is a gang initiation crime)?
