I also facepalmed the ".12 gauge" in the article.
I do want to say though, that I dont believe just because you shoot somebody in the back means they are fleeing. What if you hear them entering the home, you hide somewhere with your gun, watch them walk by, identify them as an intruder, and come out shooting. I know its not all that likely, but you have to think....Also, what if there was a confrontation between you and the intruder, he turns his back to look for a weapon to use against you, and you shoot him in the back then?
Besides, I think if somebody breaks into your home, you should have the right to do whatever you want to them. If you want to beat them and watch them die a slow death, so be it. But society says we have to coddle them, and send them to prison for 3 hots and a cot only to be released for good behavior and due to overcrowding 3 years later.
