Oh? So three against one is considered a fair fight even though they invaded the house? The homeowner was wrong in defending himself against the three? So what if he used a semi-auto hand gun; would gramps complain?

Three against one, broke in unannounced to steal stuff, don’t know if personal harm was on their agenda too. Sounds like the homeowner just evened it out.

Burglars got the business end of a homeowner lawfully protecting his life and property. All my sympathies are with the homeowner.

Unfair advantage?! Homeowner 1, Burglers 0. The results are what count and in self-defense, anything goes. Good he had an AR-15. Consider how much more mess would have been involved if he had used a 12 gauge shot gun.

It’s NOT a fight Pop pop. It’s just exterminating vermin.

Gramps is obviously a life long whiner that passed on his morals to his issue.

>>but death was not the appropriate consequence

The criminal gets to choose the crime, the location, the victim, the means, and the intended outcome.

The victim only gets to choose whether they fight or submit. Every person who enters a person’s home to commit a crime should be carried out in a bag.

I always was a bit “different” but I’ve never...at 7,or 17,or 47 or 67...entered a private residence without a specific invitation from the lawful occupant.

And if it were an eight-year-old girl alone in the house, what would make it a fair fight for her against three teenage punks? A rolling pin? A screwdriver? And to hell with your grandson. He got what he deserved. A year ago.

The Homeowner has an unfair advantage in that it’s his house.

The Colt Revolver was said to have the name of “The Equalizer”, reflecting the fact that 5 bullets made a vast difference in an unfair fight of many to one. Would this grandfather be saying the same if the death came from a revolver or autoloader? This is the hype against a legal weapon used legally against a home invasion by 3 men.

One thing to add: The criminal also chooses the time of the attack. Which might just happen to find the intended victim alone, or perhaps even asleep and alone.

They were 3 against 1. I don’t want to hear this idiot’s idea of fair.
