An Open Door Is Not an Invitation

He was homeless, so of course he was looking for open doors. Man shot in the leg after entering Pueblo home, police say

[Pueblo Police Dept.] said detectives interviewed the homeowner, who reported that he arrived home and noticed that his front door was open and an unknown man was inside. The homeowner reportedly said that he then grabbed his .22 revolver from his bedroom and confirmed that his sister, who also lives at the home, did not know the man either.

Officers said the homeowner reported that he confronted the man, who had a knife in his hand. They said the homeowner reported that he shot the man in the leg and asked his sister to call 911 to report the incident.

Pueblo, Colorado is about 100 miles south of Denver.

The guy who got shot was taken to a local hospital, and then to the local jail where he was booked on a charge of second-degree burglary.

This guy is lucky he got shot in the leg with a .22 and not in the head with 9mm. That fact will be lost on him.

Self-defense is a human right, and the police in Pueblo, Colorado seem to be treating this like a legal right. Good Guys 1, Bad Guys 0.
