One who doesn't have shoot outs at his house --- the casual comment that this has happened before -- meh -- suggests there might be something more to his just defending himself against random intruders.
Being worried about family retaliation -- meh -- again -- something suggests this isn't a random crime.
If I come home and see someone ransacking my house -- first step -- call 911. Honestly -- any of you smart gun owners -- would you just walk in to a house being robbed without a gun in hand -- thinking -- if I can just get to the closet. NO!!!!!
There is so much more to this story.
I just think that folks might want to be a little more discerning about trying to find examples where a good guy with a gun saved himself and his friends from danger.
Right? There’s no way that an unarmed man runs into a house with armed robbers, hoping to get to the gun first. It’s unbelievable.
"The homeowner admits it's not the first time there's been a shooting at his home. Police markings show where the home was shot up less than a year ago."
But, at least he did off a couple of scumbags.
No doubt they were "just in the process of turning their lives around" when they were shot in the act of armed robbery.

If I entered my home and found it being burglarized, I would attempt to retrieve my weapon if the burglars were in another part of my home. However, if I knew no family members were in the house, then I would exit the home and call 911. There are some people who get so caught up in "My Castle/My Stuff" that they would enter the home regardless of the danger presented. I suppose we should be thankful that this individual retrieved his firearm rather than let it be stolen. (My firearms are in a safe that would take longer for them to open than it would take for the police to arrive.)
I think there is a difference in mentality between those that support the 2nd Amendment and those that do not. That unarmed man may or may not run into a house with armed robbers depending on how he was raised or how much he values his life compared to what is inside.
