Burglar ignores shotgun warning, is shot by homeowner

[bullgator]

I’m a fool for a happy ending……

I some situations, you’d be as likely to get arrested for the warning shot than the one you meant to connect with.

No warning shots in my house.

YEP. Ammo is to doggone expensive

Somebody better put a cowbell around that boys neck before he gets in a bind.

Only idiot here is the homeowner for not making the first shot fatal. You don't use lethal force in a non- lethal manner. If he don't need killin, you have the wrong tool. If he does need killin, don't muck around and get it done ASAP.

Ammunition is too expensive now to waste on warning shots.

I probably would have shot him better than in the leg.
That said, we don't know the whole story. Maybe the homeowner could tell the guy was really drunk and was not a burglar meaning harm etc.
I'm not saying he should not be dead or the homeowner did anything right or wrong. Just we don't truly know what he saw at the time.
Its easy to be a an arm chair quarterback when you don't have the adrenaline pumping or have all the facts. The only one that knows what was presented is the homeowner.

I went to high school with the guy. Super nice dude. And yes he was plastered off his you know what. Can't say I would have shot for the legs though...

Ammunition wasn't all that expensive eleven years ago when the event occurred.

Likker Kills

That is what I was thinking when I saw someone repost this ancient thread.

Wondered if there was liquor involved in the posting.
