I don't know how I feel about someone else being legally allowed to take up arms to defend your property in your absence.. I mean, the guy obviously had good intentions (preventing them from getting away with his neighbors property) and those people he shot were criminals who'd broken various laws already, and could have continued that barring his intervention, but since no one's life was put...

the 911 call Joe Horn, 61, told the dispatcher what he intended to do: Walk out his front door with a shotgun. "I've got a shotgun," Horn said, according to a tape of the 911 call. "Do you want me to stop them?" "Nope, don't do that - ain't no property worth shooting somebody over, OK?" the dispatcher responded. "Hurry up man, catch these guys, will you? 'Cause I'm ain't ...
