| You can "what if" this thing to death for the next 200 years if you want. What if there was somone in the house and the 2 guys killed them before robbing the house and leaving? Lets just stick with the facts about what happened.

Among the wisest of words spoken so far. I too have been robbed, as I waited in line one night at a gas station. Stood there with a shotgun against the side of my head for about ten minutes waiting to decide if the guy was going to end my life because I had no cash on me. I now have a ccw permit, and as I sit here in the waiting room at my local auto service dept, I have my Glock .40 on my side, loaded and ready to go. I have gone on many exploratory missions late at night when hearing out of place noises in my yard. You think I wouldn't kill a man for trying to steal my stuff? If he walked up to me with both hands raised, and said I'm only trying to take something that is not rightfully mine, and I mean you no harm, I may let him leave, or call the cops to come after him. However as this is not usually the case, I have no idea what his intent is, so in the words of a famous rock song...Click, Click, BOOM! If that is your wayward son, I am sorry, and I hope I never have to feel your pain, but your blame needs to fall on his shoulders for making a piss poor decision, not mine. And since we are what if-ing, what if your crack addict son tried to kill me, or someone in my family? Would I have your permission to defend myself then?

I predict that he will get off if the case goes to trial. Thank goodness this didn't happen in Austin. I mean, I would be still be glad that the burglars were dead, especially if they were from my town, but there is no way the mamby pamby PC wusses that make up the majority of my city would let Horn go free.
