A Nevada man looking for a birthday party reportedly died early
Thursday morning after being shot by a homeowner when he knocked on
the wrong door.

Metropolitan Police spokesperson Lt. Ted Glaude told the Las Vegas Sun
that the victim had briefly left the birthday party near the 9200
block of Wittig Avenue.

When he tried to return at around 2 am, he mistakenly knocked on the
wrong door at a nearby home.

Police said that the homeowner fired a single round, striking the man
in the chest. He was transferred to University Medical Center, where
he reportedly died.

According to the paper, no arrests had been made as of 7:30 a.m. on
Thursday.

Earlier this week, the shooting death of a 34-year-old man ignited
debate about Nevada’s “stand your ground” law.

Wayne Burgarello, 73, argued that he was innocent under the state’s
2011 “stand your ground” law after he fatally shot an unarmed man and
wounded a woman who were sleeping inside one of his vacant properties.

“If the case is tried, a judge will tell a jury to apply a subjective
test and an objective test,” attorney Reno attorney John Ohlson told
the Gazette-Journal. “The subjective test: Did the shooter actually
believe himself that his life was in danger? The objective: Was that
belief reasonable?”

So what's your point? Is it only conservative gun owners who are 'lax', or do liberals get some
credit?

Oh, and you forgot this:

Homeowner frightens off armed home invaders, KSL, Salt Lake City, Utah 05/27/14

A pair of men, at least one of whom was armed with a handgun, broke into a home in Salt Lake City,
Utah and began threatening those inside. Earlier in the day, the duo threatened the homeowner’s
daughter over the phone. The homeowner responded to the break in by retrieving a handgun and
confronting the men, causing the intruders to flee.

The home invaders were captured by police a short time later. Following the incident, Salt Lake City
Police Detective Veronica Montoya told a local media outlet, “I think the two suspects are very
lucky they weren’t hurt, because I think most people would agree if somebody comes kicking your door
in and is armed and you’re armed – I’m really surprised he didn’t hurt them.” (KSL, Salt Lake City,

Thank goodness for guns, eh?
