Is it OK to shoot a burglar? It is in Texas.

According to the Associated Press, a Texas man who shot and killed two men he suspected of burglarizing his neighbor's home was cleared of the shootings [1] Monday by a grand jury on June 30.

The 911 phone call [2] was pretty intense, as the man stated he wasn't going to let them get away to a dispatcher.

What do you think? Was this murder? Was this defense of a home? What message does this send homeowners/citizens down the line? Do you keep a gun at home? Would you use it on an attacker? Would you use it on a thief? On someone running away with your stuff?
