If the homeowner is armed don't go back.

A Clinton Township man who just returned from a hunting trip shot a would-be burglar who broke into his condo, fled the scene, and then returned looking for a fight.
It all began around 3:30 a.m. Monday at the Colony Condominum complex when the 29-year-old suspect from Rochester Hills broke into a condo and was startled by the owner who was brandishing a 12-gauge shotgun.
"He just got back from hunting and had a shotgun in his closet," said Clinton Township Police Captain Richard Maierle. "[The suspect] said something to the effect of 'Hey, wrong apartment. Sorry. Hey, I'm outta here.' He ran down the stairs. The howeowner went down the stairs after him."
The suspect managed to escape. But then, as the homeowner was looking to call police, he returned.
According to Maierle, "the suspect came back around the corner and screamed at the homeowner, 'Hey I got a gun now. I'm gonna kill you.' He charged the homeowner. They started wrestling over the gun. The gun discharged into the ground once. Then somehow [the gun] got reracked. The gun then went off again and shot the suspect in the leg, right below his knee."
The suspect is being treated at a local hospital. Doctors say he may lose his leg.
Smart, go back to a home you know is defended. Who says having a gun will keep you from getting robbed. If he hadn't had the shotgun the burglar would not have tried to kill him the second time. He would have peacefully taken some stuff and left (at least that is what the democrats would have you believe)

I live in Clinton Twp, one of the only Detroit suburbs to allow a home based FFL, and they passed the ordinance allowing it AFTER the crime bill.[:D]

Which gun was he shot with? 0 -
In my opinion that homeowner is nuts to let someone that is a threat get that close to him before nailing him in his own home. I see a face I don't recognize in my home it's game over. I take no chances in my home. 0
