No he did not, he realized his house had been broken into looked around and seen someone climbing out of a neighbors window....how does that constitute "He went out patrolling"?



And I'm glad that if you lived next to me, found your house had been robbed looked around and seen someone climbing out of my window, you wuold just sit there and say nothing....
There is no stretching in the post you're replying to. Warning shots are illegal in most jurisdictions. They are ill-advised and foolish everywhere.

A sad day in America. The police probably apologized to the burglar for the gunshot noise scaring him.

Since YOU claim he broke a law give us the law, in details, that he broke.

I am afraid you are going to be disappointed in the outcome of this issue.

I could be wrong but I think you can only use deadly force when someones life is in danger.

I'm pretty sure vigilante behavior is against the law as well

All depends on the state.

What state allows anyone to use deadly force when no ones life is in danger? What state allows vigilante behavior?

People can self deputize now? News to me

Quite a few states allow deadly force to protect property. NH is one of them.

He fired into the ground, and even Penny Dean says (the spokeswoman for the Gun owners of NH).

As I said before, the waring shot, I disagree with....he should not have done it....

To protect your own property, does this apply to protect someone else's property? Someone breaking into your own home qualifies as a threat to your life.

If I'm in NH and I see someone breaking into a Radioshack I can kill them? I'm not a lawyer, but I doubt it.
