She had the right to hold an unknown up with a gun sure but imagine if internet forum rambo (ive seen a lot on tfl/glocktalk who think you should just go around open carrying and shooting bad guys all day) had gunned down an innocent man for no reason?

This.
I'm all for defending the home, but blasting away when someone sets a toe in your home is waaaaaay too far.

"Break in" and "wander in" are two very different things

That doesn't change the idea that entering a home unwanted shouldn't be like crossing the warning wire in a German POW camp. Like I said, if the guy overtly threatens you or has is armed, fell free to pull Castle doctrine. Anything less than that, pointing the gun at the guy until the police arrive should do the job easily.

Isn't this why it's taught to keep whatever weapon you're using for this un-chambered? Since hearing a weapon go into battery behind their head is a good way to make most opportunists piss themselves.

No just some people think chambered guns "go off."

Unchambered guns is a good idea if there is even a slight chance a kid will get to your gun.

Or just teach the kid gun safety and never worry about it.

Your own kids thats one thing are you going to give a gun safety lesson to every kid who walks in the door?

Someone walks into my house "accidentally" = Get yelled at
Someone kicks in a window or door = Shot until they fall over

I'm not taking any chances, now that home invasions ending with violence against the homeowner have been on the rise in my area.

If you see a weapon or they are close enough to hurt you shoot, dont just open fire. Killing someone is a whole mess of legal problems not to mention the emotional toll. If im in a position to end a confrontation without lethal force im going to.

So you're saying to wait until they get their whole foot inside the home. Gotcha.
