The dude made his way into a lock porch.. Therefore the use of deadly force or the threating of deadly force becomes legal. That is why the cop never said boo about my response.
I was speaking to what you said, not your particular situation. IF the dude is in your house, *not by force* you cannot shoot him, no matter how fucking bloodthirsty you are. Read what I quoted, not what you think I said.
Regardless, pulling heat on someone threatening your BBQ and not your family is immoral.
I support you right to defend yourself, your family, and those in your community, but your BBQ need not apply.
