I'd have aimed for the head. I wish this country had those laws somtimes, in NI if someone breaks into your house you cant do shit to them otherwise your the one who gets arrested.
I'm amused how pro-criminal public opinion is. "warning shots...". Criminals were given all warnings already that sound in general "do not commit crime". You brake into my house, I'll do my best to kill you and your accomplices. While you are inside, because otherwise I'll have chance to be tortured by public, which I'm not going to take.
"shot in the stomach" AKA "center mass". the gentleman gave the perp the opportunity to get out and see the error of his ways. that's more warning than he'd get in my house. i'm asking santa for a 12ga pump shotgun this year!
@inkey2 thats cool......I would like to have a hand gun in my home but massachusetts is basically north korea......you can't even legally own a pellet gun or crossbow
@inkey2 I've had a carry permit in Mass for years.
Since Mass is a may issue state and the final decision is up to the local chief of police, the likelihood of getting the permit depends upon what town you live in.
@subysuby no its not, im a cop and trust me its not. and if someone does intrude your home, and you fire a warning shot, police wont arrest you, ok they will arrest the suspect for trespassing and felony evading if he runs
@Mightylite94 in massachusetts you can't even have slingshot, cross bow, brass knuckles pellet/BB gun etc...... and the castle doctrine has been an on and off law
@inkey2 2nd amendment allows ANYONE to owna firearm, ok, and even if you need a permit, you can still own a gun, ok i know the law much better than you.
@Mightylite94 first of all the second amendment does NOT allow "anyone" to own a firearm. People with felony convictions in their past are usually not allowed and certainly not 5 year olds or babies
@inkey2 One of the reasons i'm glad i moved out of that shithole state. I live in KY where 2nd amendment rights are respected and castle doctrine is in effect. The only warning any would-be burglar gets in my house is the muzzle blast out of my S&W .45.
@CarbineKingClassic........lol fucker breaks in my house 10 gauge buck shot BOOM, hed be leaving in pieces.... nice one you have an AK47? awesome gun man , Hungarian?
A burglar's a dangerous person, assumed to be armed, will do anything to not get caught including murder. Pacifists are the first ones they'll kill. Invaders will kill a defensless person as the person begs for mercy. What a way to go out. My position against a criminal does not include "victim". Why would any sane person's? Life and freedom have a cost. Many times, an individual doesn't ever have to pay it, but only a fool thinks it'll never be unexpectedly demanded of them during their life.
No, quite the opposite. If you're gonna keep someone alive for a little longer (e.g. for some amusing rape and torture), naturally you would prefer pacifists because they don't pose a threat.
If you want to set around and bullshit with the guy, be my guest. In my home, there are no "warning shots" I would have shot his ass dead first, then looked for someone else to shoot. For all you peace mongers above, for all you know, the 2nd and 3rd guy with him that you didnt know about, may be raping your 6 year old daughter while your bullshitting with #1.
@perkinsfan lol no warning shots in my house either, i got kids That fucker even peeked his head in my door , BOOM 10 gauge , What a mess he would be in....Fucker gets splattered and my family stays safe ....hooah
I would have shot the sorry bastard in the head, what the hell's up with a "warning shot"? As for the idiot up above that would let people break in and let them do whatever... how do you know they won't rape your children? how do you know if their is one, or more? YOU BLOW THE FIRST ONES ASS IN 2 PIECES WITH A 12 GAUGE 00 BUCKSHOT, THEN YOU SECURE THE HOME. THEN AND ONLY THEN DO YOU CALL 911... 911 are like first responders, they come AFTER THE FACT.

dear god the amount of ignorant americans on here just screaming "damm! id ha shott up that sonofabitch if hed gone jumped in my hosue!". Nobody deserves to be put at risk of death no matter what wrong their in and you never have the right to kill sombody, "castle doctrine" or not. Just because your in my house doesnt mean i can kill you, just as if you were in my car does not mean i can stab you...
You're a complete idiot. So even if they threaten your family, your children and wife? You wold have no justification in defending yourself? You're an imbecile.
Cribbibo, let see if I have a good understanding, you would allow a burgler to invade your home assault your wife and children steal all your belongings and walk out just like that. Myself I take a more direct approach. If you enter my home to steal items I have worked for or harm the family I love then Mr. 9mm rolls out the welcome mat. Game Over.
cribblbo you are one ignorant liberal and you and others like you disturb me your the perfect target for a home invasion if i was your neighbor i would turn my cheek the other way when you thanked me for saving your wife yourself and kids please GROW A BRAIN
The way I see it he gave him two warning shots. The stomach shot wouldn't kill that piece of human garbage as long as he was treated some time that weekend.
i would have shot that piece of shit and anyone else who who breaks in to your home. You people are idiots talking all that shit about how you break in to houses. you are shit if you steal
hell iv shot people for jumping over my locked gate and thats just like breaking in to the house wail my gard dog was biteing him i shot him in the head with 000buck shot what a mess that was
It's Texas. We have the Castle Doctine. You enter my house, I can shoot and kill you without any other cause. It is a well known fact in Texas you do that you're opening yourself up to a huge risk. On top of that, we are protected if we shoot someone that is in our home from criminal and civil suits.
some ppl are desprete for money so they have no choise,shootin da guy ws dumb cuz i break n homes n we travel n #s while armed wat if the back up was around the corner the man of the house could of got killed its best just to scare him away not out up a fight and we do no wat will happen if we get in the house thats y were armedand by the way the rish are more likely to get robb not other poor ppl...
u r an ignorant piece of shit. ill shoot you right in the fuckin face with my shot gun if u broke into my house. if u r desperate for money there are legal ways to obtain it. oh wait, u might not understand these big words. let me put it into "LAMENS" terms for u. U R IGNORANT
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
ur da dumb shit vato ppl do work clearly u dnt know how it feels to live in the varrio n i do have a job when i brake in homes i look for weapons not electronics i dnt care for that
the dude was just standing around in the dudes house not really a threat i would have just dragged him outside and curb stomped his ass, or called the police
or you could have a blank round in your gun and tell them to leave and worn them you have a gun, if that doesnt scare them off fire the blank if THAT doesnt work, shoot them, that would be a good idea
Why kill every person who makes a bad decision, just because someone breaks into your house doesnt mean they deserve to die, if they are a threat then take them out, but if they decide to run, let them go and call the police
@dmaster357 i agree with you on one point.....don't shoot them in the back while they are running away. In some states in the USA you could be in deep legal shit for that. But just remember.....a person breaking into your home is an unknown quantity. It is better to assume they are going to kill or rape you and take appropriate forceful action.
@Blacklung27 you are right. it's not like a compitition or anything. No there is fair fight in real life but fight smart ,fight with an AR and a Glock.

The simple answer is, don't break into people's homes and you won't get shot for it.
Give me one reason a homeowner should let them run? If they run off with the owner's property the owner will not get full value from insurance.
Bad decision? So let me guess murderers don't deserve death either?
Its simple, don't burgle people and you won't get shot. How much easier can it be?
