The fact that the perps went there armed with an AR-15 indicates to me that they were probably expecting some kind of resistance, and/or had some kind of supposed information about the homeowner / what was inside the home, because I don't think most burglars pack assault rifles to a home burglary job.
The homeowner is pretty lucky -- for home defense, a shotgun would be my first choice too -- normally, a couple loads of double-ought buck at a range of a few meters is a marvelous disincentive, unless of course the bad guys have something bigger. Still, he put one in the morgue and one in the hospital, so props to him for protecting his property.
Spazz's neighborhood is more violent than mine, therefore it's justified to own a weapon in his neighborhood but it isn't in mine.

This is funny to me since all your arguments are always based on emotion. Why are you always saying I'm wrong because I'm a pussy when it has all to do with emotions. Anti-gun folk are all about stats and logic. You just counter with "I don't want some crackhead fucking with my shit, no matter the cost". When that dude nearly killed a girl with a metal rod, all your arguments were "imagine that girl had an uzi in her jacket and imagine the guy behind the counter was your 10 month old daughter." You always make a lame plea to emotion.
Here are a few facts for you. Home break-ins are very rare. It's something people like to talk about because it's scary, but that shit almost never happens and when it does, it's almost never violent. If you remove the times where it happens because you are targeted beforehand the numbers drop pretty close to zero. The chances of you deterring any crime with a gun are far lower then the chances of you causing harm to you or someone innocent.
That has no baring on the dangers of driving to work, owning a swimming pool, or anything else. If you simply own a gun to protect your home, you are actually doing yourself a disservice by putting yourself and your loved ones in more harm.
