Bet he won't break in another house again.

Right, because he’s dead.

Yes, that's usually how it works

I've wondered, what does 10 00 buck do to a body

When I hear stories like this I wonder how much of a mess that makes in the house. Would it be wrong to put the bad guy on a tarp so he doesn't bleed all over the floor or would that be a problem?

Kameron Serigny, 20, of Gonzales, has been identified as the man found deceased in the home.
IN, IN, IN, the home..

Deputies said when they arrived Serigny was found in the rear entrance threshold of the home. The homeowner told deputies he fired several shots at Serigny who was attempting to break in.

Probably wouldn’t play well with the whole self defense argument but try it if you’re ever given the opportunity and the thread about it here will be awesome.

In Louisiana it doesn’t matter. Doesn’t the law here state that you can use deadly force to prevent someone from unlawfully entering a home? I might be off on that, but I think it does.

This is poorly worded, but I assume the toxicology report is for the suspect, not the homeowner?
Yeah I don't really care whether this baw just got off of shift work at the plant and had 7 beers in him. That's irrelevant to shooting someone that broke into your house.

He about dat life by looking at his Facebook.

Yea, this guy definitely wasn’t coming back from a job interview, that’s for sure.

Make a sign that says "Trespassers will be shot out in the yard so they don't bleed on my carpet like last time."

Give that homeowner another toe tag to fill.

No, if the homeowner is INSIDE the house, he's perfectly good to blast the intruder.
Same applies to vehicles, but you have to be INSIDE the vehicle.
If the homeowner had gone outside to shoot him, it would not be a legit defense unless the burglar aimed a firearm at the homeowner.

§20. Justifiable homicide
A. A homicide is justifiable:
(1) When committed in self-defense by one who reasonably believes that he is in imminent danger of losing his life or receiving great bodily harm and that the killing is necessary to save himself from that danger.
(2) When committed for the purpose of preventing a violent or forcible felony involving danger to life or of great bodily harm by one who reasonably believes that such an offense is about to be committed and that such action is necessary for its prevention. The circumstances must be sufficient to excite the fear of a reasonable person that there would be serious danger to his own life or person if he attempted to prevent the felony without the killing.
(3) When committed against a person whom one reasonably believes to be likely to use any unlawful force against a person present in a dwelling or a place of business, or when committed against a person whom one reasonably believes is attempting to use any unlawful force against a person present in a motor vehicle as defined in R.S. 32:1(40), while committing or attempting to commit a burglary or robbery of such dwelling, business, or motor vehicle.
(4)(a) When committed by a person lawfully inside a dwelling, a place of business, or a motor vehicle as defined in R.S. 32:1(40) when the conflict began, against a person who is attempting to make an unlawful entry into the dwelling, place of business, or motor vehicle, or who has made an unlawful entry into the dwelling, place of business, or motor vehicle, and the person committing the homicide reasonably believes that the use of deadly force is necessary to prevent the entry or to compel the intruder to leave the dwelling, place of business, or motor vehicle.
(b) The provisions of this Paragraph shall not apply when the person committing the homicide is engaged, at the time of the homicide, in the acquisition of, the distribution of, or possession of, with intent to distribute a controlled dangerous substance in violation of the provisions of the Uniform Controlled Dangerous Substances Law.
B. For the purposes of this Section, there shall be a presumption that a person lawfully inside a dwelling, place of business, or motor vehicle held a reasonable belief that the use of deadly force was necessary to prevent unlawful entry thereto, or to compel an unlawful intruder to leave the dwelling, place of business, or motor vehicle when the conflict began, if both of the following occur:
(1) The person against whom deadly force was used was in the process of unlawfully and forcibly entering or had unlawfully and forcibly entered the dwelling, place of business, or motor vehicle.
(2) The person who used deadly force knew or had reason to believe that an unlawful and forcible entry was occurring or had occurred.
C. A person who is not engaged in unlawful activity and who is in a place where he or she has a right to be shall have no duty to retreat before using deadly force as provided for in this Section, and may stand his or her ground and meet force with force.
D. No finder of fact shall be permitted to consider the possibility of retreat as a factor in determining whether or not the person who used deadly force had a reasonable belief that deadly force was reasonable and apparently necessary to prevent a violent or forcible felony involving life or great bodily harm or to prevent the unlawful entry.

That’s true. What I was referring to, though, was that if you are inside your home and someone is attempting to break in, you can legally use deadly force to stop them from coming inside. I believe that’s how the law here reads. You don’t have to wait for them to be inside to shoot.
