It sounds like a small-caliber "sledgehammer"... maybe just a two-pound ENGINEER'S hammer in this case. The uneducated press seems to like to exaggerate certain weapons: .223 are "high power" rifles, and so on.
If the homeowner had used an 8- or 12-pounder and had gotten a real swing on it, it's more than likely there would have been a different outcome. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)] |
