I just recently moved from Toledo so I know all too well how it is there, though I think its the perfect example of the insanity in the gun laws & restrictions that are being pushed. and do you know what part of the west side.
Shoot first through doors and ask questions later. Good kid, no record, no weapon and not a burglary, but a sad and confusing incident for homeowner and victim. A further investigation should be done. It will be interesting to see if any entry was gained since the wording of both news stories indicates that this was not the case. You have every right to protect yourself, but you also have a responsibility to understand the law as a gun owner. God forbid you or your children would make a bad decision in a possible impaired state and face the same outcome. You don't know what you would do under the same circumstances. My condolences to the family.

When someone KICKS in your door, and the homeowner gives you MULTIPLE warnings, thats no stupid mistake or entering the wrong house. You get what you deserve, a slug to the skulledit on 4/14/2013 by HomerinNC because: (no reason given)

I'm a gangster because I want to defend my home huh?
Let me go kick in your front door and empty your place out, you can just stand there and do nothing, okay?

You think these things will protect you from someone invading your home with a firearm?
Good luck with that
I regularly watch a show called Best Defense and they run through scenarios like home invasion. Just this last week they admit that a homeowners first line of personal defense should be a heavy dose of mace to the intruders face while having your gun ready in case it doesn't work. This was also taught to me in my CCW class. We should start with the least lethal options first and shoot if you have no other options.
