The homeowner is likely protected by the state’s ‘castle doctrine’

A Missouri homeowner shot and killed an alleged intruder who broke in and refused to listen to warnings.Webster Grove police responded to a “burglary in progress” at around 2:50 a.m. Friday, and when officers arrived at the home they found a man wounded.
Lt. Andrew Miller said the alleged intruder was transported to a hospital, where he died.
“When the suspect refused to comply with verbal commands to exit the residence, the suspect was shot by the homeowner,” Miller said.
The man allegedly entered through the rear door of the home, and the homeowner ordered him to leave. When he refused, the homeowner shot the suspect with a shotgun, KMOV 4 reported.

Gun pRon sent by AW1 Rod. For comparison, a Red Rider BB gun can achieve 350 fps muzzle velocity, weighs about three pounds and has a 650 shot reservoir. All this for around 50 USD.

That GR-1 needs a thing that goes up in the back.
“A Missouri homeowner shot and killed an alleged intruder who broke in and refused to listen to warnings”
I wonder if he heard the “warning” shots.
It’s ok, the homeowner used a shotgun.
Even in Missouri, “play stoopid games…..”
I hate seeing news about firearm incidents in Illinois. The whole idea of a firearms owners card (permit actually) grates my nerves raw. I have a firearms permit, it was granted by birth as a citizen of this country without the need of any govt entity.
Exactly, OT
“Shot him in his…..flank….”
What was this guy? A cow? Well, it IS Texas. Please explain to me in words of one syllable or less, where on the HUMAN body is this “flank”? Enquiring minds…
The right or left side of the torso.
I still want to know if that GR1 gauss rifle can shoot an electromagnetic pulse to take out a drone? And at what distance?
It’s already a Larry Lightbulb solution in search of a problem, Tox. Now you’re adding requirements creep into the mix? This is exactly what sunk the Navy’s A-12 program.
A 12 gauge with No. 7 shot should take care of most civilian drones.
Just looking to see if it can be repurposed “outside the box”.
Think I read that the GR1 ‘could accept non-factory ammo’ but it’s not suggested. Not much to it, really; it’s just an electromagnetic gun for the enthusiast and hobbyist. *shrug* Guess if there was no demand, there’d be no supply…
What would be my 12-bore fav? Malaysian/Rhodesian Jungle-load. Was told it’s a mixture of #4 and Double-aught – by our next door neighbour, a gnarly RLI vet(Rhodesian Light Infantry) – ‘We loaded our own shells based on what the Brit’s had used in Malaysia and it just worked’.
No. The GR1 is a ‘projectile’ weapon..only. What you’re scoring for, is one of these –

I was just reading about it. Holistically, it’s basically the equivalent of a high end pellet gun, specifically one that weighs 20 lbs and costs almost 4 grand. It’s a cool concept, but very much a gen 1 version of the idea.
