Yell County authorities say a homeowner shot and killed one of two men who broke in to his home Wednesday night.

The sheriff says 44 year old Mike Jensen of Dardanelle carried an assault rifle as he made his way down the hallway after kicking in the door with another man.

The homeowner shot and killed Jensen with a shotgun and the other man fled in a vehicle.

The sheriff says it's unlikely any charges will be filed against the homeowner.

Good for the homeowner.

4. Why didn't he just shoot the kneecaps?
   
Not that I like shooting folks, but people need to be able to defend themselves, and the perps risked getting blown away by breaking into someone's house.

Killing someone is hard to live with, no matter how "right" someone is to do it.

Because if you shoot the attacker there, he can still shoot at you.  :thatsright:

7. Eh, dude had a weapon himself.
   
Shoot him in the legs, and he can still shoot you -- or a family member. It becomes a lot less likely, but it's still a possibility. In any case, I don't begrudge anyone the defense of their lives, their property or the lives of their family, particularly against armed intruders.

44. And not just a gun --
   
an assault rifle! Yikes!

At one point I was considering buying a gun and I took a police training course for civilians. I just wanted to learn how to shoot a gun out of someone's hand or, like you said, in the leg, and stop him/her from coming at me.

We were told that you can't rely on that. While you're taking aim (which is iffy at best) they could be blowing your head off.

I ended up NOT getting a gun, but found the training interesting and informative.

13. This is gonna happen more and more as the economy tanks
   
and the cops are unable to prevent it. Good for that guy. Unlike the asswipe in Texas who went outside after the cops told him not to and shot the 2 creeps who robbed his neighbors house.

Well, when seconds count, the cops are only minutes away.

God, they are stupid!!! I wonder how the DUmmie would feel if it had been one of their family members who got attacked?

I bet you were the butt of many a joke at that course.  Get back to us when you try to defend yourself / your property / your loved one's by spewing tidbits of trivia at your assailant.  Idiot.   :thatsright:
