............Now the grandfather of one of the turds is saying that the homeowner using an AR-15 wasn't fair...............
Let's give gramps a cell phone so he can call 911 when three teens totin' AR-15s break into his house. Maybe he'll figure out 'fair' don't count to the criminal element.

As posted/stated already IN this case the son of the home owner was not charged.

However here is a link where a home owner was charged. He found his shop/business on his property broken into went back to his house got his gun then came back and shot the intruder. If you leave and come back unless there is anther person / family member in danger I think you are going to get charged. Now if you open the door to your shop and some one is inside and rushes/ threatens you and you shoot them legally you are OK. I think he told the police he left the building and then came back.

I think reading and knowing what the laws are in your state is a must, if your life or someone else is not in immediate danger , as in you have time to go somewhere and come back, you might not want to be the first to shoot or at least not tell the police everything.

The guy in WA state is facing murder charges now for returning to his home business with a gun and shooting the intruder.

WA is obviously not a stand your ground state, but to be fair he did see evidence of a break in, armed himself and went in to investigate. However, the law just isn't on his side with this one, however I still think poor decision making shouldn't mean you relinquish your right to self defense.

Look at George Zimmerman, by all accounts it was incredibly stupid to pursue someone on foot but he still managed to beat his charges.
