Yes- very good advice and clearly shows a dangerous precedent in "playing cop." In this case, the homeowner wasn't in danger until he confronted the perp. I should have clarified that when I posted the article; I was thinking of a scenario when someone WAS initially in danger and fired a warning shot, which was not the case here. He could possibly also have kept a safe distance andused a very bright light to illuminate the suspect.


Thanks for bringing up the other side of the situation.
