Is it Switzerland where every man is sort of on permanent national guard duty and has an automatic rifle in their house? Bet home robbers think twice over there. -g- While I agree 100% with killing the guy that was trying to choke him, throwing lead at someone that is running away is problematic. But you never know if they were going to come back for revenge so next time he better shoot straighter. -g-

<<yep...in Britain a homeowner was recently convicted of manslaughter in a similar situation. an outrage imo. in Austria you also have to ask burglars first politely to leave, and if you shoot them there's a good chance that the court will find you in violation of the law. >> You did note that (despite the tone of the article) Colorado residents do enjoy the protection of the "Make my Day" law where-by one can "shoot first & ask questions later" and be protected under the law in both the criminal & civil courts?
