“He shot through a closed door. Typical Democrat who is too stupid to own a gun. He violated all the rules of firearms safety.”

I think that post wins the award for the dumbest post of the day. The right to defend yourself, your family, and your property is a God-given right and I don’t give a d*mn what the local jurisdiction says. This incident is exactly what jury nullification is for.

What would happen to this guy if those three “innocent” youth had gotten into his house? Many 15-year-old boys are man-size and are going to be much stronger and faster than the man who shot them.

You are obviously ignorant about a great deal of things. This guy shot through a closed door. I would never shoot through a closed door. What if the person on the other side was standing to the side and you hit the neighbor across the street? What if it was a woman at the door running away from the husband who was just beating her? You would really shoot through a closed door without having any idea of what's on the other side? Somebody beating on my door is not going to put me in fear for my life. That's one of the criteria necessary before you can claim self defense. Should I ever be in that position, I will be prepared. That's why I carry a semi-automatic with 14 rounds, as well as two spare magazines. I have also checked out defensive positions in my house, to include fields of fire that won't hit my neighbors' houses. My God-given right to self defense doesn't give me a license to be stupid about it. And that was the case in this situation. The homeowner was absolutely wrong in what he did. And no jury will nullify his actions. I certainly wouldn't. I also don't expect any gun rights organizations to back his actions. I'm guessing you know nothing about self defense law or firearms safety. So you may want to refrain from criticizing those who do.
