See, personally, I think there's nothing wrong with defending yourself inside your own home.
If someone broke into my house and threatened me, and I had a shotgun, I'd do exactly what he did. I nkow the argument thats coming.. 'oh, but the poor wee burglar was trying to escape..', given the situation, of coming face to face with an intuder in your house, and you've got no idea what his intentions are, are you willing to take the chance he might not turn on you?
I think we just have totaly differnt opinions on this, and ther's no point in you trying to convince me you're right and I'm wrong.
Just dont try and break into my house and you'll be fine
