Entering someone else's through a rear window? Give me a break.
Would you have offered him tea and cookies?


Imagine what a schmuck you'd feel like if you didn't give the kid 10
seconds to explain himself and found that you'd just shot your
neighbor's kid who was too drunk to know the difference between
houses.


You want to carry that kind of weight around for the rest of your
life, like your compatriots here?


Ya'll put up a brave face but I have to wonder how many nights you'd
sit awake wondering how that kid's father and mother feel.


The callous responses here are astounding. Christians, no doubt.

Castle laws may give you legal authority but I'd have to be more
convinced that the intruder was an immediate threat to me or my
wife
before I'd open fire. Shooting someone is pretty serious stuff.

Depending on his motives, you might not have much time to make up your
mind.
But according to harry, it's a no brainer.

According to everything harry has said over the years, the kid would
have been dead at his home too...


I don't shoot in the dark, d.f. If an obviously drunk kid broke in and
he wasn't wielding any sort of weapon, I'd simply get him down on the
floor and call the police.

Now, if the intruder were a short little greasy **** adult male who
broke in and he looked like you, I'd assume it was a home invasion and
act accordingly.

It's dark. Your alarm is going off because someone broke in. He's walking up the staircase. You
don't know it's a kid, and you don't know he's drunk, and you don't know if he does or doesn't have
a weapon. You yell and fire a warning shot. The guy keeps coming.

.....and now you simply get him down on the floor and call the police.

Right.
