Ban guns. Think of the children.
Police say teen was shot burglarizing home with dad
A man and his son tried to break into a far West Side home on Monday, police said, but failed when the homeowner shot and injured the 15-year-old boy.
The San Antonio homeowner awoke around 1 a.m. and saw two figures on his back porch. He grabbed his 9mm and shot at a figure entering through a window that had just been bashed in.
Keep in mind that this 15-year-old will be included in the 2009 statistics for children injured by guns when the antis trumpet the numbers.
In the comments:
I am afraid that this “castle doctrine” is going to lead to real trouble.
Well, in this case it certainly did lead to trouble. For the bad guys.

Does anyone on the other side present strong and supported [dubiously perhaps] claims that clearly define “trouble” as used above and cite instances in which said “trouble” occurred under municipalities with laws similar to the proposed?
I realize the commenter you quoted isn’t necessarily a scholar equipped with such knowledge, but beyond foolish claims such as “you’re more likely to be shot by your own gun than someone else’s” does anyone on the anti- side have any hard facts and actual theories regarding self defense laws being abused?

Sounds to me like you really know what you are talking about here for sure.
