Home Owner catches Burglar

This guy was moving out of a house and returned to pick up more of his stuff when he noticed the front door had been kicked in and a pile of said stuff waiting for pick-up. So the good guy waited and the bad guy came back to collect the good guy's stuff. With the help of a shotgun he held the bad guy until the cops showed up. One police commentator said had he fired the round could have gone through the wall and hit the woman sleeping on the other side. So next time think about your backstop and what’s beyond it, change your angle of fire, and then shoot the bastard if need be. This time the bad guy saw reason at the end of the shotgun. Next time he might not. As for the police,

officers do not recommend taking these extreme measures to protect your home.

If not him, who? Depending on the police for anything but investigation after the fact and assignment of blame is a loser’s game. Just my opinion.
