I hate to say this, but other than the damaged door and the cleanup costs, I’m not seeing a downside here.

Imagine being the homeowner. Shock, fear, and bewilderment, all in a few confusing moments.

This is what comes from getting your firearms training from TV and the movies.
If he'd managed to draw the gun without killing himself he probably would have held the gun sideways, thus assuring he could not hit the broad side of Michelle My Belle.

Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe you CAN fix stupid... Or at least keep it from killing innocent homeowners.

Retrieve from the belongings of the perp (including the gun) the funds to replace the door and repair any other damage, and everything is close to perfect here.
