Prosecutors in Genesee County will evaluate whether to file charges after a man was fatally shot while allegedly terrorizing a couple in their home.

If it takes them more than 30 seconds, it is time for a new prosecutor.

Don't the gun control nuts often say: "There is no reason for a private citizen to own an Ak-47?" Well, here's one, you dopes.

The Genesee County Sheriff's Department says the 9-1-1 tape recorded the caller saying he was going to have to shoot the man firing shots at the house.

A new law in Michigan allows homeowners to use deadly force in certain situations.

The homeowner over-reacted, the perp hadn't even fired his LAWS rocket or his RPG. Charge the homeowner with first degree murder. S/off

The homeowner then fatally shot the man with an A-K-47 assault rifle.

Well, there's a new one. An A dash K dash 47. Anyway, after spraying the guys house with bullets and a whiskey bottle it appears justified to me.

Well this certainly sounds like one of those situations.

"If it takes them more than 30 seconds, it is time for a new prosecutor."

Uh, this is Flint, Michigan, home of Micheal Moore.

Prosecutors only fail to prosecute such crimes when they are committed by gang-bangers coming out of Detroit to expand their drug trade.

It was also home to Kayla Rolland, the first grader who was shot by her classmate. If you recall, the boy got the gun from his drug-dealing uncle. The response was to call for more gun laws.

"... allows homeowners to use deadly force in certain situations."

If this doesn't qualify as a "certain situation" I don't know what would.

If someone shooting into your house isn't a justifiable "certain situation," I don't know what is.

I owned one once.You really do not want to be on the receiving end.Hope the homeowner does not get charged.I bet he was a little rattled having live ammo sprayed at his or her home.

From article:He reportedly sprayed the back of the home with bullets, threw a whiskey bottle through a window and broke into the home.

OK, was the whiskey bottle empty, full, or half-empty?
It matters because in Kentucky this would be a capital offense, depending...

while allegedly terrorizing a couple in their home

Sooo, dead guy in the news "allegedly" terrorizes a family, so how come the homeowner didn't "allegedly" kill the bad guy?

Is the MSM trying to say (however veiled) that perhaps the dead guy wasn't terrorizing this family and the homeowner may/could be in the wrong? After all, there WAS a gun involved.

Stupid question, and am hoping a Freeper can link me to something helpful.

Does anyone monitor these stories to compile a list of successful self defense shootings? I keep meaning to start a list to proffer when confronted with some anecdote provided by the Sarah Brady clan in support of gun control.

I read about successful self defense shootings almost weekly on Free Republic, and am wondering if there's a way to find them all in one place, for easy reference?

Thanks!

Well, chances are it would not be an AK 47, but an AKS. True AK's [legal ones] are expensive and rare in this country, and an illegal conversion to selective fire is a federal offense. But what do the WLNS-TV [Michigan] people know?

The homeowner then fatally shot the man with an A-K-47 assault semi-automatic rifle.

AK's in Michigan, huh? What are the odds that one, if not both, of them shouted allahu akbar during the exchange?

It probably depends on the MSMs definition of "terrorize". Do they even have one?

Well this is certainly a situation where I'd be happy to put an intruder out of his misery. Now watch them redefine terror and put the home woner in prison.

Remember, you're talking about Michigan. Soon to be the new Taxachusetts. This is a very leftwing state.

The only thing the homeowner has going for him is that this was NOT a random break-in; the guy was looking for specific trouble from his ex and found it.

Had this been some "poor" person looking for money for his fix, the shooter would be looking at twenty years.
