Scary
You're never ever fully dressed without a smile!
What the fuck is wrong with people. Those shots went into the neighbor's wall across the hall. Are those neighbors ok?

I get it's a scary situation, but seems smarter to wait for them to break down the door and then shoot them when you actually have line of sight. Blindly firing through your door and clearly endangering your neighbors needlessly is not responsible gun ownership.

Watching an interview with the victim. Said the neighbors left 20 minutes before.

I remember this, this happened awhile ago. You should be allowed to defend your home, those guys had no hesitation about breaking down his door.

No charges, iirc.
sheiiiiit.

give a bonus to the fucker that built that door.

also, slap the fucker who shot. he couldve killed the people across from him.
I may look calm, but in my head, I've just killed you three times.

I'm glad to hear that at least. Still irresponsible as fuck.

But why would you say " no one's home right now"?

Some people will find any reason to blame a gun owner for their reaction to being attacked.

Very convenient of you to just leave out the rest of my post.

Well, I guess you're just living up to your shitposter status.

I literally said he should have waited for them to break down the door and then shoot them, WHEN HE HAD AN ACTUAL LINE OF SIGHT, instead of doing something that would have needlessly endangered their neighbors were they home.

But I know that "responsible gun owners" like you don't give a single fuck about your stray bullets possibly killing innocent people.

We can all sit here and judge the guys defending themselves, but could you have acted more rational in the heat of the moment?

It's pretty standard safety training to not just start shooting blindly, to identify and know what you're actually shooting at.

The rules for safe and responsible gun ownership themselves judge his actions.

Wouldn't that mean that the robbers would have line of site and could shoot him? Sounds like anything would have been their fault for putting him in that position. These people were clearly a threat, I don't think he should have had to wait to possibly be shot himself.

Until you're in a life and death situation like this, there's not much to discuss.

He knew they were trying to break in and if need be could have immediately fired once he saw them. He knows what directly they're coming from, they don't know exactly where he is immediately upon entry.

And did they even have guns? I don't see any in the footage.

This is from his doorbell camera so presumably he had visual access to them.

Cool story bro. Just fire blindly and kill whatever random people may be nearby.

If the neighbors had been home there's a very high chance they themselves could have died while doing nothing at all to the actual threat.

great, and if they had guns? Just get into a ridiculous die hard shoot out?

Leave your house once in a while. Touch grass.

They did have guns. You can see it in the video. They shot back. You don't even know the story, but you're trying to tell people how it is.

I'm happy to hear that the irresponsible gun owner didn't wound or kill anyone uninvolved in this incident.

Right. I'm unhinged for pointing out he very easily could have killed his neighbor without even hurting the actual threat.

Too bad they missed
personally i would of waited to see my target, but its a scary situation so i dont fault the guy especially when theres more than one individual a lot of the time when it comes ot those loud break ins.

1:20 you can clearly see the pistol in his hand

I may have conflated the shooting back with a similar incident, but you can see the gun clearly at around 1:25.

Eh in that situation I think the gun owner did the best he could. Waiting to confront them after the door is down just leads to more stray shots fired most likely and hitting them you are dealing with more than just chasing them off with out hitting them.

No, you're unhinged for suggesting he should have waited for the armed assailants to break down his door and aim their guns at him before he defended himself.
Who is? I am!
If I was an American, I would consider having a second gun loaded with blanks, so I can scare intruders away without having to repair my door.

And if I didn't have blanks, I would probably just fire at an angle towards the floor (assuming they are concrete) so the bullets do enter the house across the corridor.
Load me into the matrix and dont pull the plug
People constantly forget that people are fucking stupid in heated situations and constantly do shit that could hurt themselves or others.

It's easy on the outside to nitpick at least five things that could've been done better to make everyone safer in that situation, but that stuff really doesn't go through your mind when you think you're in danger.

Ok, that's my bad on missing that. Thanks.

His strategy still ultimately didn't even harm the threat and put his neighbor at risk, were they home.

Damn, that's wild. Did the robbers have some kind of relationship with the victims that led up to this?
What is up, my sister!?

What would happen in the case of the neighbors being caught in the crossfire? Would that just be added to charges against the robbers, or could the victim be charged? I don't think there was really any safe way that scenario could have gone, even if there is a hypothetical perfect scenario.

Oh, so you're just a fucking liar.

I said as soon as he line of sight on them he could start firing. I never said anything about giving them time to aim at him. They're charging through a door and don't know where he immediately is, he knows exactly where they're located once that door breaks.

It's very basic firearm safety to actually know what you're shooting at.

You fucking fetishists are so disingenuous.

I'm not sure if it depends on the state, or if it's nationwide, but the robbers could be charged for it for causing the scenario where the gunfire was necessary

The robbers would probably catch felony murder chargers if the victim accidentally shot his neighbors.

Still having a meltdown huh? How long do you think till he closes his account?

Which was the fault of the intruders. If somone in a crowd was going to shoot you, and you could shoot them back, should you just die instead of risking shooting a bystander? I say any loss of innocent life would be on the other person for forcing to make that choice.

Part of knowing what to do in a life and death situation like this is knowing what to do beforehand , like through education and training. People should know that even though this guy was defending himself, he acted in a dangerous and reckless manner that is likely to get a bystander killed.

There's definitely more this story. Why would they attempt to force entry into a unit they knew was occupied, in broad daylight? Just move on. They must have been after something very specific.

Probably not the pack-n-play, though. I couldn't tell if it was occupied.

No one answered, so they thought no one was home. Most robberies occur in broad daylight because that's when people are gone.

No, they were posing as building maintenance in order to rob people.

They were posing as maintenence to find unoccupied units to rob while people were at work
That should make those scumbags think twice about pulling this stunt again.
