Reply to comment by dhskiskdferh in Roseland, N.J. mayor: Resident fired shot at would-be car thief inside his home by dhskiskdferh

Correct, a reasonable fear of one's life and a verbal warning is required inside of one's own home.

Didn't realize the verbal warning piece, but in all honestly, if someone is in my home, with two small children, I'm going to fear for their and my life. I would also say that giving verbal warning gives the intruder a chance to act first before I do and I find that odd.

I think most agree, and therefore a jury would agree. Also probably why he was not charged
