What he should have done was call the cops, and be prepared to take action until they got there.

True story. I used to work nights and my wife called me at about 3 am one morning because a guy (black man) was trying to get our bedroom window open. She had the gun pointed at him and would have killed him except I kept her on the line talking her out of it while a friend at work called the cops. I wouldn't let her shoot until the guy broke the window. After a couple of minutes he left without breaking the window, and the cops picked him up down the street about 5 minutes later. He was "dead" drunk.

Isn't one of the rules of using a firearm is that one should/must be sure of their target before firing? How could he be sure of his target if it was behind a door? IMHO the homeowner was premature in his use of deadly force.
