2nd Amendment /flex

I ran across a story posted by RayDiffraction from RFC (top/left link) about a little dog alerting a homeowner to a possible break-in.
The gist of the story was that the homeowner found some suspicious things laying around and he sort of knew something might be hinkey. Having his alarm system disarmed because of storms, the only alert he received was from his Chihuahua. He met the burglar (who was attempting to tunnel onto the property) with a .357 magnum.
Hello Castle Doctrine!
OK, now for the reason I blogged this...
The story, although great, isn't what caught my attention the most.
The comments were! As of currently posting this entry, every single comment so far is in support of the homeowner and what he did. Not a single hint of anti-gun rhetoric. Awesome.
Here are some:

Thank God for the castle law. We could all be living in places like England, or Chicago or DC like helpless sheep.

...after one verbal warning my first round would have been in the center of mass, not the fencepost. It'd be the very last time he violates his probation.

Burglary is a tough occupation. Everyone in our neighborhood has "anti burgler[sic]" instruments readily available. Ruger, Smith & Wesson, Colt, Winchester, among others, make very fine instruments.

Too bad we can't post that: "protected by smith & wesson[sic]" on a sign in our front yards. I bet that would make a better deterrent than ADT.

The people have spoken.
Amen.
