The homeowner needs more range time.
Homeowner: "I didn't mean to. It went off by accident. I didn't realize my finger was on the trigger."
He'd skate either way.
The home owner is lucky he missed. I bet he would have serious legal problems otherwise.
At least put a couple holes in their vehicle for easy identification.
Depends on state law......since it’s NJ your probably right.
That makes it a modest suburban home, especially on a lot adjoining an interstate highway.
It was a stolen vehicle. Some poor innocent bastard will get his car back and have to fix the bullet holes. It sounds expensive.
Too bad the homeowner did not put a couple of holes in the thieves, for easy identification.
Inaccurate headline at source.
The homeowner shot at a BURGLAR in his home, who is hypothesized to have been looking for a key fob.
The speculation by Dean is unusual.
It’s a shame the homeowner didn’t have a 12 gauge...
Yes. Clorox would not get out all of the stains. He would have to use a better solvent. In the meantime, if he can’t shoot any better than that with a handgun, he should get a shotgun.
That would have netted him charges (NJ, after all).
Very nice neighborhood. I would say upper middle class.
The speculation by Dean is unusual.
The speculation is from "officials". The speculation is mentioned as such in the opinion at the end of the article.
In my neighborhood a stranger in your house in the middle of the night without your permission is also called a “target”
Democrats want to make the defense a crime. They want the underclass to waltz right in and take whatever they want from their “oppressors”.
A “million” dollar home in that section of NJ is probably a 1500 sq.ft. Cape that you wouldn’t give a second look at.
NJ home prices are insaine along with the property tax (guy is probably paying $20,000+ a year.
Bet any amount that homeowner missed on purpose. It's New Jersey, where the Communist government officials violate citizens' rights every day.
The homeowner knew that shooting a Son of Obama would mean criminal charges and a mob of Leftists.
These laws need to change to where the crimes of any de facto ward of the state incur aiding and abetting charges to the nearest Democrat politician.
“”Officials said the burglary suspect was looking for a key fob to steal a BMW parked in the resident’s garage.””
Note to self, secure the fob and DO NOT place it where it’s convenient to grab on the way out the door...
Around here they are called a “corpse”.
Look at post 12. Zillow lists it as 3,371 square feet on a .89 acre lot, valued at 1 million.
