Mitchell Large made the decision to break into a Florida home Monday morning but didnt exactly face the greeting he was expecting.
The family whose home he broke into were all packing heat.
Immediately, the dad fired a warning shot above the door, MyFoxOrlando13 reports, but the intruder was not detered.
When Large continued into the kitchen, mom and son opened up, killing him, BizPacReview writes.
It appears at least two of the family members fired in defense of themselves and their property, Police Chief Gary Hester explained.
Its not a very far reach to assume that if someones forcing their way into your residence early in the morning, theyre not there to wish you well, Hester said of the break in. Thats your castle that a reported intruder is coming into, so whether he was armed or not armed, when he failed to retreat, they certainly had a right if it turns out this way would have a right to defend themselves.

Dem's, socialists, communists, and progressives mourn their fellow traveler.
God-fearing, productive Americans thank God for their right to bear arms as freemen.

Why is this “rare”? I guess these people have never been to Florida, or any of the other free states where the right of carrying anywhere and everywhere, including at home, is uninfringed.

It sounds more like he met his Maker than the family, he didn’t even get the chance to know them.

"Thats your castle that a reported intruder is coming into..." Nicely, neatly, legally worded: thankyouverymuch, Chief.

Watch for his mother to say he was just a baby, really a good boy, and accuse the castle defenders of murder, hate, racism and... oh, wait.

They fired a warning shot and he still wasn’t deterred. If a man’s home is his castle, maybe a dungeon with a torture chamber would make a more effective deterrent.

Florida man breaks into house and meets entire family with guns loaded AKA a really bad day at work.

Since he’s white, it’ll save the liberals the trouble of acting outraged and demanding mom and her son be prosecuted and such.

If you were to believe the Libs, a family like that would be busy shooting at each other.
Apparently that's not the case.

MSM: Looks like a troubled man. Probably had "mental" issues, came from a broken family, drug problems.
The usual dribble.

Because most of the time, the incidents end without the perp getting killed. More often, the perp does not resist when the firearm is pointed at them.

Exactly. And all meaningless because he intended to do harm to the family.
