If someone enters your property with a gun, you are protecting your life even if they intend to only steal your car. I cannot tell the intentions of ANYONE assaulting me in any way.
What if a person with a concealed carry license, or a person in an open carry jurisdiction, carries his gun and enters your property to ask directions? Would you really blow him away?

That kid didn't even carry a gun. But you seem to be saying that if he had, the homeowner should have killed him.
And of course, the kid is black.
At least he was found guilty, Such incidents many times have more dire consequences with fewer penalties.

And of course, the shooter was acquitted of murdering a teenager dressed for a halloween party.
"Hattori was dressed as John Travolta in "Saturday Night Fever" and was brandishing nothing more menacing than a camera"
but hey, louisiana....
then there's this:
https://apnews.com/article/hide-seek-shooting-louisiana-girl-neighbor-b59a1232f3fd309e1afd02174026fad7"A Louisiana man faces aggravated assault and battery charges after firing a gun at children who were playing hide and seek outside his home, wounding a 14-year-old girl, according to the local sheriff’s office.....The girl suffered a gunshot wound to the back of the head early Sunday"
simple searches don't show what the result of the charges are. I guess he should be let go, after all, all he did was shoot a 14 year old in the head while she was running away....Small price to pay for paranoid white males to keep their deadly toys.
(and yes, andrew, we know you're going to counter with the 'hundreds of case where guns were successfully used in self-defense'...again, the deaths of a few innocent kids are a small price to pay for paranoid white males to keep their deadly toys)
