A homeowner was asleep in his LaPorte County, Ind. home when he was awakened by the sound of glass breaking. The homeowner retrieved a pistol, went to investigate, and discovered a hatchet-wielding intruder inside the house. The armed homeowner responded to the threat by shooting the criminal in the chest, killing him.

Following the incident, one of the homeowner’s neighbors shared his thoughts on the matter with a local media outlet, stating, “I have no sympathy for [the home invader] because if he’s going to take the risk of going in to someone’s home, you’ve got to take the risk of getting shot.” (ABC57, South Bend, Ind. 07/08/13)

Criminal? What criminal? He isn't a criminal because he was never convicted.

He shouldn't have shot him. He should have chopped him up with a hatchet to be politically correct.

This can't be true. Everyone knows you're 5 times more likely to be hurt by your own gun than to use it to stop a crime and/or defend yourself.
