I wonder if this idiot will be charged for pure stupidity. Also curious how many times he reloaded. Hopefully his insurance company won't cover a penny of it. Its idiots like this that give the rest of us a bad rap.

Thirty nine seems like an excessive number of warning shots. You’d think three would be enough if he started with two to the COM and followed up with one to the noggin.

Very likely the perp would be discouraged by that and choose to not attack family any further. If this didn't discourage the criminal, he'd have a chance to do 12 more warning strings. Another benefit to slosig's method is far less drywall repair.

Everybody knows all you need is a double barrel shot gun. You know, fire a couple in the air.....
Not that I am in the habit of entering people’s houses uninvited and maybe my cognitive abilities or sense of self preservation are radically different but as soon as somebody breaks leather and says “get the fuck out of my house”. Well I take the warning at “Get...”. And I am GONE BROTHER.
You start emptying mags “around” me I won’t need an exit I WILL MAKE ONE. Your drywall guy will want to know why he has to patch all those little wholes and what’s the deal with the one shaped like a big fat guy at full gallop.
Lots of stupid in this story.
