Bet this wasnt a burglery…but if it was, im not sure why the homeowner stop shooting while the suspect still had a pulse, finish him off next time.
Doubt this was a burglery, no need to hide a weapon after if you are defending your home.
Good Point!!.
Could have been using the gun the right way in protection. But if his gun doesn’t have papers then that could be a reason to hide it….
Then it would be a stolen gun and he should be arrested for that too. No reason for a legit home and gun owber to be scared if they are protecting their homes or lives. If it was me, i would have shot more then once and i would be waiting for the cops with a coffee in hand.
