The investigation involving a 79-year-old man who confronted and shot an intruder has been turned over to the Benzie County Prosecutor to determine whether the homeowner will face any charges.

Deputies say the 79-year-old homeowner heard someone in his pole barn in Inland Township Tuesday night.

"[W]e can't assume just because someone is in our home they're going to hurt us."

That's EXACTLY wrong. The Castle Doctrine provides that an intruder in the home is automatically presumed to present an immediate and unavoidable danger of death or egregious bodily harm.

AUTOMATICALLY.

That's what Castle Doctrine is all about, why it exists in the first place.

The homeowner told the trespasser to leave and he didn't leave. A 79 year old can't physically defend himself and shot the intruder before he was close enough to cause him physical harm.

It seems like a pretty clear case of self defense to me.

Hopefully turning this over to the prosecutor is strictly a formality and they will make the correct decision to not charge the homeowner.
 
 QUOTES TO REMEMBER
If guns are outlawed, only the government will have guns. Only the police, the secret police, the military, the hired servants of our rulers. Only the government — and a few outlaws. I intend to be among the outlaws. — EDWARD ABBEY
