You seem to be defending the guy's actions. Either he was wrong or the dispatcher was wrong. It can't be both ways. So who was wrong? One of them has to be.

You are sure putting a lot of stock into what he "felt" was threatening, as opposed to what was actually threatening. He was in his house with a gun in his hand and the criminals probably didn't know he was watching them. They weren't coming after him. He wasn't threatened. They weren't coming into his house.

If I "feel" threatened, does that give me the right to start shooting people, even if I can't establish that I was actually threatened?
