And the chances of it covering damages caused while they're burglarizing someone's home are even less.

Sometimes they'll make a thief pay restitution.

If you shoot him and he lives, I'd ask the prosecutor for the carpet cleaning, drywall repair, and the price of replacement bullets!

Great, more ammunition, pun not intended, for the Bloombergs of the world. I can just hear them saying "See, we told, you don't need more than 7 rounds". :rules:
Yeah, but he's a trained killer. We simple civilians would need at least twice that many. Even the police only hit 25% of the time.
.MIL averages 50k rounds expended to kill or wound 1 enemy combatant.

Apple to oranges, I realize, but interesting nonetheless.
Interesting stat. Source?
Well come to find out my info was dated. 50k was vietnam - http://usmilitary.about.com/od/armytrng ... school.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Modern day numbers are closer to 250k/kill - http://www.globalsecurity.org/org/news/ ... ullets.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

If there are public news reports of this incident, how do you feel about publishing a link to the story? They are (obviously) already public information.

If you do not feel comfortable publishing a link, have you personally verified his story via public news sources? I'd have to believe that 2 BG's killed would make the news somewhere.

I am not saying bull to the account, I just have a Ronald Reagan mindset: "trust, but verify".
You'd be surprised how many defensive shootings, especially in small towns, fly under the radar. Coworker is also a friend who I trust :thumbs2:
