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

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

As if banning guns is a viable solution.

Actually, the last time I looked Black Males were leading the pack in
gun crimes reference their numbers (:-)
