"I think the homeowner should have yelled out, "I've got a gun that I'm not afraid to use in one hand and a phone that I'm using to dial 911 in the other--get off my property now!"

You never do this. You just gave away your position if the burglar is armed. Your house walls will not stop the bullet coming towards you.

The FL CCW class actually recomends you do this. Those words were specifically NOT recomended as they say you are scared. It was suggested you state "STOP, I have a gun." Just FYI as to what is said in class.

That's silly. As presented, the guy had time to think before he shot out. The guy outside is not going to know his exact position if he yells out from inside the house. If he's worried about that he can crouch down or hide behind something. I understand the saying that it's better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6, but they are probably going to make this guy's life a living hell. He had options and he took a life and really messed up his own. I wouldn't want to be in his shoes right now even if they didn't pursue anything legal.
