So you are saying that the homeowner should NOT have protected his family with the gun because it wasn't licensed?
Of course not. He should have never had a gun in the first place. The homeowner and his family are the ones who should be dead instead of the robber. Besides, the only reason the robber was stealing from the homeowner was that society had treated him badly because they misunderstood him. He needed the money for drugs to dull the pain of society's rejection of him--
