I had to read that one twice to make sure I got it right. I am glad the home owner was able to defend themselves.

Excellent use of the shotgun there! They climb in the window, blow'em to hell. That's just the way it should be.

There is an old and venerable law called the Felony Murder Rule. That rule provides that a co-conspirator is guilty of murder when a fellow conspirator is killed during the commission of a felony. This is a classic use of the rule illustrated in this article.

Trespassers will be shot and survivors will be prosecuted!!

Looks like they need to make some changes to the "welcome to.." sign.
