The problem is that burglary "charge" - if there's a felony conviction he isn't allowed to legally possess a firearm at all, whether his use of it in this case is justified or not.

The burglary charge was one of the perps, not the homeowner. The homeowner had a concealed carry permit which would not have been possible if he were a felon.

Yes, yes, (sound of hand smacking forehead). You are, of course, correct.

Sounds like a no-brainer (so to speak). Well, there is that littering thing...
