Shooting was justified

To The Editor: I have just read where a man was indicted for shooting a client that kicked in his front door. I thought it was a law if you broke into "my" house, I had the right to protect myself. There has been too much of this in Hendersonville.

What happened to this man's rights? Why was he indicted and not the one that broke into his house? If these two intruders had been killed it would have saved someone else from being killed. Our law has been changed since I was a child. The innocent were protected not the guilty.
