How did the OP's post turn to a criminals rights issue? Did you read the (albeit short) article? So far so good until further information is available... Home intruder killed by a person defending themself with a firearm. What's the issue?

It all depends on what the homeowner did and where the intruder was. Your not really allowed to seek out a home intruder in your house unless you or your family are in danger. It could be a slippery slope especially in nys. That’s what the last few trainers told me at separate trainings. Who knows they could just be erring on the side of caution though. To me burglary is burglary and your allowed to shoot a burglar right?

You're right. They will take him out to dinner and buy him a few drinks.

Where do you people come up with this crap?

If he was in the right, nothing will come of this.

From all that I have read, he did just fine and is sitting at his home right now.

He was questioned about the shooting and he was released.

Why make more out of a story than need be?

I am watching to see what the police do and I am a little surprised because our mayor usually loves the cameras and he has been noticeably quiet

Never ever heard that before.

The police reported " home invasion ". I would think the home invaders were seeking the residents. Deadly force sounds justified to me. Unless they just wanted to borrow a cup of sugar...

Is a home intruder (burglar) different than a home invader ?

Can you shoot a burglar trying to get away from YOU in NY? Hmmm... I don't think so. I thought I read somewhere on this site that in NY you have a duty to retreat. WTF, I hate this shithole state...

GOPerfect, not being antagonistic in any way. Do we have a duty to retreat in NY?

Yeas and no.

New York has a self-defense law based on the castle doctrine but it is considered much weaker than similar castle doctrine laws enacted in other states. In NYS, a citizen has the duty to retreat from attackers if they feel they can safely to so. Within their home, the castle doctrine authorizes deadly force as long as the resident is not the instigator of the confrontation.

How can others know how you feel?


A person in possession or control of, or licensed or privileged to be in, a dwelling or an occupied building, who reasonably believes that another person is committing or attempting to commit a burglary of such dwelling or building, may use deadly physical force upon such other person when he or she reasonably believes such to be necessary to prevent or terminate the commission or attempted commission of such burglary.

Am I the only one who thinks it may be better to simply keep a BODY BAG handy for such events ?

You are going to be totally screwed if you shoot an intruder in your home, especially a protected class perp.

Mebe it wood be betta' to zip him up, drag him out, and cover with some daisies ?
