You’re going down, too bad, so sad, we can write “Misguided Hero” on your tombstone…

Call the cops, feed 911 ALL the info you can but follow directions, and stay in the house…

Duh…

And I most definitely do not have any sort of a death wish. We are responsible for the safety and security of our neighborhoods. One way we provide for that safety and security is to hire police and elect those who will responsibly utilize those police. When the police are not around, the responsibility is still ours to shoulder.

What part of Horn is now a murderer do people NOT understand??

What part of people like Horn are more dangerous to our RKBA than ANY bad guy is has everyone missed??

You come in MY house uninvited, as a burglar, and if I am here, trust me, I WILL send you straight to hell and I won’t bat an eye about doing it, but a private citizen is more likely to be hurt or killed, or ultimately arrested along with the bad guys for pulling stupid shit like this Horn guy did and going outside, against ALL orders, and placing himself in a position of of danger…

This is a part of having the concealed carry law I hate too, I have met a few folks with CCWs that had the good sense to know when and where a weapon is appropriate, but I have met many more that have NO business with a gun, I honestly believe they pass the written test and go to the range and qualify as being able to shoot and somehow there’s NO consideration given to the fact that this SOB wants nothing more than to be Charles Bronson when in reality they are nothing more than Barney Fife, without the badge…

For crying out loud folks, think of the damage that YOU are doing and the danger you are placing yourself in, and the danger you are placing the officers in because they don’t know you from Adam, all they know is BURGLARY IN PROGRESS and when they roll up, here’s a guy with a gun in hand, the situation just escalated at least 10 fold, so, you scream, “I am a citizen and they are the bad guys”, uh, how do I KNOW that??

So, instead of dealing with 2 suspects that are likely burglars, possibly armed and for damn sure dangerous, 2 individuals I need to focus my full and undivided attention on, I now have 3 individuals to deal with and one is brandishing a gun and screaming about not being a bad guy…

Lemme think, lemme think… Hmmmm…

These things have a tendency to NOT turn out well…

Follow orders and make it easy on the officers…

Stay in the goddamned house….

All that is well and good but it’s best to leave LAW ENFORCEMENT to the police, the hero syndrome quickly turns into a death wish, yours and theirs…

I have thought long and hard about what I would have done in Mr. Horn’s shoes.

Home alone during the daytime. Discover a burglary in progress at the neighbors house. What to do?

Many would dial 911 and leave it at that. Some would not even dial 911, no need to get involved.

What would I do?

I would have called 911 on my cell phone and given the appropriate details. I would not have run off at the mouth.

If the burglars looked as if they were going to get away, I would confront them, not with a shotgun, with a rifle. I would not knowingly and willingly allow some criminal to get away with stealing my neighbors property. No way. I have worked my entire life for what I have, and I assume my neighbors have also. If the criminals get away, the odds of getting the stolen items back is minimal. Criminal activity such as this must be confronted.

Shoot or not shoot? If they attempted to run, I would not shoot them unless I knew for a fact that they had stolen guns. Other than that, I would only shoot if necessary to protect my life.

IF Horn would have told the operator what was going on, where and when, and then hung up… Then it would have been up to CSI to determine the Guilt or innocence of Horn. Instead Horn did it for them.

Good Luck Mr.Horn, you’re going to need it.

I see your point on calling 911 and then letting the police do their job, calling 911 was the ONLY thing he did right, he didn’t allow the police to do their job, he took the law into his own hands and he killed the guys…

Some folks think he’s a hero, but what he really is, is a murderer, and I mean that in ALL sincerity, he murdered 2 unarmed men that presented NO threat to him until HE went out and initiated the confrontation…

Horn is a fool and I hope they lock the bastard up for a long time…

He gave the DA all he needs to convict him.

Quite frankly, this has nothing to do with protecting property or being in fear of one’s life — and Horn went OUT OF HIS WAY to prove the OPPOSITE — it has everything to do with validating what Leftists think of gun owners and portraying Horn as nothing more than a beer-drinking, wife-beating, stained-T-shirt-wearing ignoramus. This Horn fellow doesn’t have the brains God gave the average houseplant.

Much will come out on this that we don’t know. His mental state at the time, etc, etc.

Maybe he had a bad childhood, that always seems to work. Maybe he thought they were Catholic Priest from younger days.
