[QUOTE="Bennett Prescott, post: 48481, member: 4"] Re: Man Who Catches Burglar Potentially Facing Same Sentence as Burglar Yes. While it is unlikely that he will see a felony conviction or jail time (and shouldn't, IMHO), it is immoral and irresponsible to draw a gun when not in imminent fear for your life. Even if the burglar [I]were[/I] on his own property you cannot shoot someone just for stealing, legally or morally. So called "warning shots" are a waste of ammunition, and a symptom of not having fully thought through the implications behind using a firearm in self defense. [/QUOTE]
