Would you guys have shot through the glass?
I don't think I would have. I wasn't there, thank God, but my guess is... had I been in this situation, I would have gone to another room and called the cops. I would have camped out in that room until
A) this guys is in there with me, at which time he would have been shot
B) the cops show up and nab him
If I open a blind and someone is working on opening that window, I just don't think I'd shoot through the glass at him.
This home owner is well within his rights to do so, but I'm just sayin'... would you have done that?
I don't see where the homeowner did anything wrong, legally or morally.
I'm just asking what you would do.
If I was alone, which I'm inferring he was based on the story, I wouldn't shoot through the glass. I maybe would if I'm home with family, but not if I'm alone. Maybe that's just me.
But killing someone would SUCK on so many levels...even when justified and valid. I just don't see myself doing that through the window. Once they're inside... it's a whole different ball game.
