#2 police say they hope would-be robbers take the hint.

Notice the take of police in the Old West? Its not about procedures or power of the local authorities. Goes back to the principle that power derives from the people, not some weenies who believe that government is the only solution and that people who actually protect themselves are as much a threat to their power as any offender is to society.

None of the three homeowners involved in the shootings has been charged, though the cases are still under review by law enforcement.

In other words, theyre doing their Do you think theres a snowballs chance in hell that any jury in New Mexico would convict? paperwork. I think theyre actually trying to grade the effectiveness of each trigger pull. Probably arent any Olympic 9-9 moments here.

#3 If this happened up here, there would be calls for more gun control and investigations of possible civil rights violations.
I am quite serious...

#4 P2K, I think they are being very careful in processing their report so the family of the intruder will not have a civil case against the homeowner.

The poor guy in Seattle is just plain screwed, he needs to sign over all his property to his best friend and claim to be bankrupt. The civil couts there will eat him alive.

#5 Note to intruders; Don't get shot with a shotgun.
If it's close, it's a big hole, if it's farther, it's a bigger hole. You will bleed.

#6 The homeowner is in Federal Way, not Seattle. He might have a chance.

Plenty of gun play in Western Washington. It's not all liberals and lattes. Here's a lurid crime tale from Packwood, WA yesterday:
