Good job! Every state, country, town, municipality in this entire U.S. of A. should absolutely have the CASTLE DOCTRINE! I would do the same thing to protect my home, family and self! Good job!

A man's and for that matter woman's home is their castle!

I love to hear about one of these dirt bags thieves getting shot. Fight back good people! Its That much better when a woman is out there defending herself. This guy wont be robbing anyone else. Good job lady!!

Thank you ma'am, for saving the city of Orlando the time and money it would've taken in court months from now in having you and/or family members waste time on the witness-stand to "prove" this guy had broken into your home and cause any irreparable mental anguish to you or your family, and risk the criminal going back on the streets on a "technicality", only to continue hurting other people. You successfully ended this altercation with one draw of a weapon, in one night, only costing you a broken-in door and however many bullets were fired, and the usual transportation costs to the Coroner/Morgue. To the 2 suspects that ran away, I hope your days are numbered.

I am not insensible to the family of the Invader that got killed, but it seems that it is only after the criminal is brought down by a potential-victim that then all of the sudden "Family" or "Friends" the criminal probably didn't even know were still around just come out of the woodwork and claim "...but he was such a good person at heart...he (or she) didn't deserve to die like that...", and try to turn the tables to make the person rightfully defending their private property (or livelihood, in the case of a Business-owner), to be the supposed criminal instead.

I don't agree with anyone that, if the "know" their relative is up to no good, tries to claim "victim" status for them when they finally make the wrong turn and hit a dead-end in Life. If you have family that is in any trouble, do Interventions, commit then to Psychiatric Observation, do ANYTHING in your power to rehabilitate them. Angrily protesting after-the-fact when they're in jail, or dead, is too late.

Again, I applaud the homeowner, we need more of them throughout the Country. We had a Homeowner's Association try enforcing a "no-guns" law in a residence complex here in Florida that as I understood, after an overwhelming spike in home invasions, had to get rid of that stupid lawn and voila: the same group of idiots came back for another visit and the targeted house along with 2 other homeowners gave them the surprise. None were killed but all were arrested receiving treatment at the nearby hospital all shocked, just shocked "...if we'd know they all had guns we'd never rob there..." And yes, that is exactly the choice of words that were uttered to the arresting officers (thanks for the update guys).
