Does sleep count as “under the control of owner”?
Let them come into your home before opening fire for a better legal outcome.
Once they are in your home, I think most juries would not press charges.
I agree that fear makes people a little rash, and understandably so.
A jury filled with residents from libtard-infested Marxachussetts.
Ditto. Shooting through the door is a few seconds too early.
I have no idea.
MA gun laws are very confusing. For example, a "Class A large capacity license to carry firearms" does not allow you to carry large capacity firearms, which are banned.
The problem is, every time they pass a new one, they don't repeal old ones that the new one conflicts with. And they pass lots of them.
Personally I would not shoot through a solid door. Now if I could see someone were trying to kick it it by seeing through the glass I’d take me out and take my chances as I’d rather be judged by 12 than carried by six. I’m 70 plus and would not be able to scramble away from youthful invaders. Once the door goes I’d not want to take the chance they would be on me before I could take more then one out. Last month someone here in north fl broke into a home and got killed. Seems he had some mental issues and no one could fathom what he was doing. The sheriff said what people have to understand here is if you are breaking into homes here most residents are armed and will shoot you. No charges.
I thought Slow Joe Biden advocated shooting through the door?
Yes, that would be my first line of defense! Crazy Joe told the entire world, on public TV, to shoot a shotgun through the door.
In Calif. the other drunks would be charged with the murder.
I know what the law says, but three armed intruders (do you know at that time they are not armed?) are trying to break in your front door with extreme violence. You’re going to wait for them to enter before shooting? Possibly three people are going to come through your door shooting. Are you good enough to get all of them? If not, You’re dead and your wife and kids are at thier mercy. I would take my chances with the law. Better to be tried by twelve than carried by six.
In California they train you to try to draw the crook into your bedroom before opening up. If all you do is wait until they get into the house, you’ll be safe from criminal prosecution, but you may have to deal with a lawsuit. If they are in your bedroom, it becomes very unlikely that that the next-of-kin will even be able to find a lawyer to take the case.
“The liberals have hog tied the citizen.”
The liberals want to totally neuter all American citizens. GOD help us if hillary and her gang are elected.
Hey! That's what Joe Biden told us to do! :0)
An old man is having a heart attack. He stumbles to a house. Pounds on the door. A window is broken. He does not die from the heart attack, but he does die from the bullet which was fired blindly thru the door. Stated with respect.
Is Massachusetts in Canada?

The homeowner looks out, and sees 1 failing old man, instead of 3 aggressive young men who refuse to leave when asked. He does not shoot.
No, its located close to the People’s Republic of New Jersey
Where one has to retreat to their bedroom closet in order to not get charged with murder if an intruder breaks into your house with a gun.
You can’t shoot the ferals, they have rights you know, more rights then you do
“I’m baffled. Three intruders and the homeowner can’t use force after they broke his window? He’s dead if it reaches three to one in his house.”
“What jury would ever convict him?”
I’d rather be tried by twelve than carried by six.
That might be easier than we think, what with social media. Just tweet out "PARTY" and the politician's address...
