And? Wouldnt it just have been safer to grab his sister and the phone and lock themselves in a room and called 911? Let the home insurance pay for what is stolen.

How would it be safer? Someone could kick the door down.

Where I am from burgulars are more interested in geting in and out with free stuff without getting caught. Why confront someone who may have a weapon? If they were to kick down a door to get to you then obviously they arent there for your awesome TV.

They will hurt people if it means they can get your stuff easily.

Most intruders are cowards who will run at the first sign of resistance. However, you never know the intruders intention. Say he knew the kids were home alone and he had ill intentions for them? How would calling 911 and waiting the, some times, 30 minutes for them to arrive help the kids? If someone breaks into my house, and they are armed, and I had already grabbed my shotgun, I would use it to defend my home. In my eyes, it's better to be judged by 12 instead of carried by 6.
