Di Carlo's elderly aunt lives two doors from the scene of the crime. He believes the homeowner did the right thing.
"I'm concerned that if you don't defend yourself, then it's going to become too easy for people to just think that they can just walk right in someone else's home," he said.

That is SO true W.B.! When someone posts news related stories, I always like to read the readers comment, to get a better feel of how the locals think. And the vast majority fervently believe in the right to defend themselves.

Correct me if I am wrong (and I know you will), but I have always had the impression that their is a world of difference in general attitudes between NYC folks and NY State folks. One bunch is totally unreasonable and the other ain't.
