When it’s a crime to stop a crime then our country is ruled by criminals.
I would recommend that anyone who carries for self defense read a lot of Branca. Self defense is considerably more complex than some think.
#1 rule I was taught in law school.
Say “I feared for my life. It was self defense. I wish to speak to my attorney”.
Say absolutely NOTHING else.

In a perfect world, Sheets would be free to hunt and kill the burglars at his leisure. Criminals in the commission of a crime should forfeit all protections of the law. Break into a home and steal someone’s property? Expect to get killed.
I have zero sympathy for criminals and a great deal of sympathy for Sheets.
My Great Grandpa killed a man in a gunfight in the early 1900s.
Grandpa went to repossess an ox which the guy never paid for. The man had a reputation for a violent temper so Grandpa brought along his Winchester 32-20.
The man came out of his house, fired one shot into the air then the next 5 at Grandpa. After the last shot Grandpa jumped out from behind behind a gate, shot him once, killing him. At the time, Florida did not have a “stand your ground” law and he was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to 20 years.
At Raiford, Grandpa started a Sunday School class. He later told Daddy that he was well treated in prison.
After a year, the Governor, realizing an injustice had been done, gave him a full and total pardon.
"...realizing an injustice had been done..."
Thanks, Grandpa Bill as I knew him, was a fascinating man.
” he/she threatened me, I felt in fear of my life. I defended myself. I would like to speak to my lawyer”.
Keep it simple, less is more.

“Him and Mas Ayoob”
Yep, Ayoob for the how and Branca for the why (or why not).
“Say “I feared for my life. It was self defense. I wish to speak to my attorney”.
Say absolutely NOTHING else.“
Don’t forget the ever popular “I think I’m having a heart attack”. That’ll get you away from the situation quick and make you basically incommunicado for a while.
His problem was he acted like the police.
“Law of Self Defense: A Self-Defense Cascade of Failure”
Ninety percent of so-called conservatives don’t get it.
You have to get off your fat, useless, mammon-worshipping ass and elect a pro-2nd amendment, constitutional sheriff in your county.
Then elect a pro-2nd amendment, constitutional DA in your county. That also requires getting off your fat ass as recommended above.
That way, after you shoot some dirtbag, you won’t be indicted by some leftist prosecutor who hates armed citizens defending themselves.
"...I am experiencing chest pain and need a doctor..."
Although I believe he was in his right to shoot the dudes dead...he acted stupidly on several levels.
We gun owners carry a serious responsibilty not to act stupidly...as doing so gives ammo to the tyrants that want our firearms.
We also carry a responsibilty to own every round from shot to terminus. Im sure when dude was pursuing the bad guys flinging rounds at their car he did not have full control of where those rounds went.
His actions were hot headed and immature. He shouldve done better.
