Why wouldn’t locking the doors, calling 911, and maybe firing 1 warning shot be sufficient. The guy didn’t try to come inside the home. Continuing to fire 30 rounds is reckless. What if a bullet had sprayed into a neighbor’s yard and hit a bystander. Sorry, but I just don’t think an AR—15 needs to be shot this many times in a residential area.
And I’ll add I’m way more scared of these vigilante gun owners who aren’t scared to spray gunfire when they feel threatened than I am an intruder. It’s called an alarm system. Or get a big dog.
They didn’t need an alarm system. They knew the guy was there. Maybe they’re allergic to dogs. Maybe pool maintenance is so expensive that they can only afford to feed a chihuahua.
Most of their money probably goes to pay for ammunition, because the insane homeowner is, fortunately, a terrible shot.

I don’t disagree that it wasn’t a good business practice for this guy to show up so late. But my God, he almost got his head blown off for it. Why anyone wants to live somewhere that allows this is beyond me.

I don't care where this happened, if you show up at 9pm unannounced to someone's home, fail to identify yourself after several attempts by the homeowner well that alone should be "totally UNlawful". No one knows what history these homeowners have with intruders in the past or suspicious and unlawful activity in the neighborhood, so they had every right to be frightened. They're lucky they didn't actually hit the guy, but that guy should lose his job. He's a dumbass and a liability.
I'll explain this very slowly...
If you are afraid of someone walking onto your property, the correct course of action is to refrain from paying that person money to come onto your property.

Because Florida's castle doctrine doesn't require any common sense. Any other state would charge them because it's not reasonable to fire on someone who hasn't actually broken in and is in the process of fleeing

So poor decision-making justifies being shot at multiple times? This country is obsessed with gun crazies who want to prove how big they are defending themselves.

Very unprofessional, but thank god he's ok. And what are the odds he was listening to loud music with ear buds and didn't hear the shouting?

+1. Never heard of anyone coming to maintain a pool or garden that late.

I hate to admit it, but I actually agree with the homeowners on this one--if it unfolded the way the article says. The pool company should have called first to confirm it was ok to clean that late.
