On Thursday, during the predawn hours of the morning, an Oklahoma gun owner defended his home while on the phone with a 911 dispatcher, proving once again that when seconds count the police are minutes away.
The homeowner, whose name has not been released, is heard on the call pleading with the dispatcher to send help immediately as the intruder was kicking down his front door.
Though, he made it pretty clear that if police didn’t arrive in the very near future, he’d take matters into his own hands.
“You better get these *expletive* here or they will die,” the man told the dispatcher.
“They’re beating on my front door right now,” he continued.
“Okay, we’ve got them on the way,” the dispatcher replied.
The intruder did not stop beating on the door. He eventually kicked it in and (to his great displeasure) was shot three times, once in the face.
“I just put three rounds in his ass,” said the homeowner, who seemed both relieved and distraught over the encounter.
The Ponca City Police arrived on the scene right after the shots were fired. They were too late

If someone kicks in your door, I believe you can shoot as many times and use whatever force you like.
BWAAAHAAAHAAAHA!
Just be sure all the entry wounds are in front. An entry wound in the back will get you in trouble
The never said what the guy was after...
According to DHS, doesn’t the acceptable use of force in such circumstances involve scissors and/or urinating on yourself?
Exactly right. You shoot until the threat stops. It’s not just you.
LMFAO. I'd say there weren't late at all!!!
Right on time, coppers!!!
Keep shooting ‘til the cops arrive. Stop long enough to make sure your dog is in his kennel or locked in another room.
me too, he'll soon find out how man bullets my gun holds....law enforcement officers are trained to shot to kill....if you fire your gun at all, you are not Gene Autry and you don't try to shoot the gun out of the bad guy's hand....you shoot, he dies.
The three rounds was not excessive. If he had dropped dead after the first round maybe the two additional shots would have been unnecessary. You never know when one of these creatures is hopped up on meth!
The following is an extract from the linked article:
“....another neighbor, Carla Carney, believes that the use of force was excessive, that the homeowner did not need to fire his weapon three times....”
Perhaps the self righteous Ms Carney should post, in her front yard, a prominent sign that would read something along the lines of “OCCUPANTS HERE DON’T BELIEVE IN USING EXCESSIVE FORCE AGAINST HOME INVADERS”. That way home invaders would be less likely to target her neighbors and go for the less dangerous Ms Carney’s house instead—and I would no longer consider her to be a likely hypocrite.

Sounds like a good shoot but.....
He ran his mouth too much to the 911 dispatcher. Perp is still alive, home owner may want to rethink his weapon and caliber selection. If perp survives there will probaby be a lawsuit based on the home owners, “I’m going to kill him” comment to the 911 dispatcher.
You shoot to stop the threat. If the perp dies after being shot 4 times with my .40 caliber 165 gr Gold Dot hollow points that’s unfortunate for him but I was merely defending myself. Killing the perp was not my intent.
Uh, no. You shoot, he’s got something like an 80% chance of surviving. If your mindset is “shoot to kill” you’ll be dismayed he’s not in the 20% bracket and proceed, on preprogrammed autopilot, to continue shooting until he is. Forensics will figure this out, and the prosecutor will have a good grounds for a murder indictment.
Calrla is stupid, plus in a life and death scenario who knows whether he remembers how many round he fired.
Another reason to use quality hollow point bullets. You want the entry point to be easily determined.
Excellent
