Good on him. If he'd done that in the UK though he'd be in prison for manslaughter by now, bloody stupid country.

I should imagine that under identical circumstances (armed intruder, women and children at risk of serious/life threatening harm and hopefully a licenced firearm certificate).

The Police would only 'go through the motions', knowing full well that a jury would probably reach a verdict of self defence.

Poor home owner, he would have been so damn scared for his family, I hope he and his family get through this ok

As for the second place getter, oh well "**** happens"

Well, jolly good so long as it was self defense and not just New TV/Wireless/cash/goods defense.

How on earth did the intruder get a weapon like that?

oh....wait..

This is why criminals prefer unarmed citizens.

Even though this was clearly self-defense, my sympathies to the home owner and his family. This is not a pleasant thing to go through.
