Your home is your castle, but if Mr. Bad Guy is breaking out the window, it may not be such a good idea to open fire before he (or she, in the name of equality) clambors their felonious gluteus maximus (or maximuses) into your abode.

If you shoot while they are outside, you better hope it’s after dark in Texas – at least in the parts of Texas that have the “He needed shooin'” defense.  Because if you do it in places where prosecutors are tougher on law-abiding gun owners than felonious thugs, then you might be in staying as a guest of your local county, like this guy.

– A legal gun owner opens fire on a would be burglar at a home in Pontiac. That suspect died from his injuries and  the shooter is sitting behind bars.

Police get a call that a 23-year-old was trying to break in through a bedroom window. But the resident, a 23-year-old living inside the house, shoots and kills him.

“Somebody tried to get in the house after we had all went to bed,” said David, the homeowner who allowed the gun owner to live in his house. “And evidently, and I don’t know what his purpose was.”

The intruder was wearing dark colors and didn’t know anybody in the house.

“That individual has a criminal history, a number of crimes,” said Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard.  “I believe he had some outstanding warrants.”
