Friend walked in on a burglary.

Even if you were legally justified in shooting the two people in the OP, you'd still spend a good chunk of time defending yourself in court. And then, you would forever be seen as the guy who had to "teach them a lesson."

If you want to go through all that just because you think you're right... Knock yourself out.

Ooooo, you beat the livin' hell out of that strawman.

I've never claimed that a "good shoot" was somehow a magical fairy land of friendly police, helpful District Attorneys', and fawning media coverage.
Hmmmm, maybe because I've had some peripheral involvement in a self defense shooting legal case? Naaaaaa.
