These "shot by homeowner" shootings happen here in the Dallas area twice per week. You gotta love Castle Law! If someone breaks into my home, they are going out in a body bag and will be wearing a spiffy toe tag. My neighbors (retired couple) spend a lot of time going back-and-forth between their homes in Dallas and Louisiana. Since we watch their home while they're away, I keep a special Remington 870 handy in defense of their property. I am not sure if I would kill a group of thugs over property, but is sure is nice knowing the law sides with the law-abiding and not with the criminals.
