Man Dared Homeowner To Shoot Him
http://www.wvmetronews.com/index.cfm?func=displayfullstory&storyid=36760

A "justified shooting" is how State Police described an incident in Lincoln County Tuesday evening.

<snip>

When Perry tried to get into the home of Jeffrey Lambert he was told to leave or he would be shot.

"Perry had pretty much dared him to shoot him and said he was coming in anyway," Goldie explained. "In that residence specifically was four small children of Mr. Lambert. He said he felt threatened for his safety and his children's safety, so he fired the shot."

<snip>

Perry was struck in the gut by a single shot and is recovering in Cabell Huntington Hospital in stable condition. When he's released he'll face charges of assault and trespassing. No charges will be filed against Lambert.

1. I would readily award this one point if I could tell that the intruder did NOT have a gun.
It is an important factor. Why was he so emboldened?

3. Could have been emboldened
by any number of factors including being on drugs. The fact remains though he was stopped in the act of commiting a violent crime by the lawful use of a firearm. It allowed the homeowner to protect his family from being victims of a violent criminal with minimal risk to their lives.

4. I do like the fact that the intruder was not executed outright.
And I support giving the defendant access to a usable length of rope and a sturdy overhanging pipe or beam in his jail cell.

5. You would think that shares would compliment the homeowner for his
(risky) choice of a relatively underpowered weapon for self defense........but apparently nothing satisfies his desire to protect the criminal and disable the victim.

11. He didn't need to
the threat was nuetralized and at that point no further shooting is justified
