"Officials say Heng will not be charged because he has a right to carry a gun inside his home even though he doesn't have a permit."
I am glad he did not need the "LTC from your bedroom to your kitchen" in Philadelphia.![[thinking]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/010.gif "Thinking [thinking]")

apparently there is suveillance video footage of the second guy fleeing. Hopefully it's enough to identify him and lock him away.
What's interesting is that he doesn't need to invoke the castle doctrine.
He was attacked by the robbers and was defending himself. If he shot them before the struggle, he could use the castle doctrine.
Agreed good for this homeowner protecting his family....
"You don't have time to think," said the 63-year-old South Philadelphia homeowner, husband and father of two. "They came like lightning."
Man, if I could bottle a lesson and sell it to any politician that wrote a law it would be this.
People don't realize you have about 6 seconds to react when the situation arises. There aren't going to be any hostage situations or quick phone calls to 911. It's not like the movie Taken where you have time to call daddy and describe the men that are stealing your television while they have you tied up with duck-tape. It's literally, bang, scuffle, over.
The only question is who is the dead guy at the end of the story? In this case, the good guys win.
The moment you have to say "freeze, don't mo..." it's already over and all that's left is the scene report.
If the other perp is ever caught he will held criminally liable for the death and be charged with the murder of his associate according to the legal doctrine of "Felony Murder."
The concept of felony murder originates in the rule of transferred intent, which is older than the limit of legal memory. In its original form, the malicious intent inherent in the commission of any crime, however trivial, was considered to apply to any consequences of that crime, however unintended.

The Felony-Murder rule usually does not apply to the death of a co-conspirator, although I haven't checked PA law to see if they would apply it here.
The other perp will probably sue the homeowner for emotional distress over the loss of his friend.

Think about how many Citizens WILL NOT be victimized by this scum after this incident. Evil doers will think twice in that neighborhood in future. Chalk one up for society.

What? That is exactly what the Felony Murder rule is all about:
The felony-murder rule originated in England under the Common Law. Initially it was strictly applied, encompassing any death that occurred during the course of a felony, regardless of who caused it. Therefore, if a police officer attempting to stop a Robbery accidentally shot and killed an innocent passerby, the robber could be charged with murder.

If this were MA, the homeowner would be getting interrogated by now, and likely be made to pay damages to the dead punk's family.
