The charges will not stick
You gotta work on improving your reading comprehension skills. You apparently missed this earlier, even though you copied it into one of your comments:

However, he then abandons that cover to advance on the crooks, appearing to unnecessarily go on the offensive, inconsistent with an act of self-defense.

You also missed, or have forgotten, the fact that “the home” (as you now identify him) was actually charged with reckless endangerment (presumably for wrongfully endangering his neighbors by his blind, wild shooting at nothing in particular). He was not charged with ADW on the bad guys, though he certainly could have been, based solely upon the last shot or two he fired.


Every day’s an adventure.
