Unless they were in the man's home at the time, a blood thirsty vigilante militia could not have saved the 67 year old.
Now if you wanted revenge after the fact, that is who you call
My point is that he should have saved himself...but no doubt he'd forgotten that the world isn't as civilized as a posh berkely neighborhood where he'd lived largely insulated from what is a reality for others.
Not sure where you are getting all your bloodthirsty vigilante hyperbole.
Does this mean I can start shooting people who illegally deal drugs out in the open? They are breaking the law after all
You and I clearly don't agree often but I think we both agree that there are several people in this thread who'd better hope they never run into the same scenario as the OP because it likely won't end well for them.
Asked the local cops years ago about shooting into the ground to scare a thief or burglar and they said that would be assault on my part.
Need a firearm ID to purchase a BB gun 177/22 cal airgun. Assault weapons are legally defined and throw logic out the window as to what constitutes an 'assault' weapon. Of course the term 'assault' weapon is an effective anti-gun tool just like labeling the wall st pro criminals the 99%.
Odd your butt would be locked up while the perp would be able to plead down.
See how effective laws prohibiting robbery and theivery work?
See how effective cops are at preventing crime?
See how profusion of gun laws create more victims. If more criminals thought more people had guns there would be less crime. Target rich environment where feel good gun laws exist.

Having a shotgun in your home to protect yourself is one thing.
Roaming the streets looking for criminals and taking shots at suspects is completely different.

Don't shoot the ground, shoot the criminal, and be sure to kill him. When the police arrive you are to repeat "I was in fear for my life, I'd like to speak to my lawyer" like a mindless drone. Nothing else comes out of your mouth.
Protecting your neighbor's property is hardly "roaming the neighborhood". Tone down the froth just a little bit.
