I agree with this. It is all I could ask or hope for. Don't put yourself in harms way for anything material. I've got enough insurance to replace it and then some. I would also be curious what kind of liability the owner of the property has been potentially exposed to? This kind of behavior is one step removed from the wild west. The fact that it was the neighbor is almost irrelevant, what if it was a guy walking down the street who saw the same set events unfolding? Does he have the right to go all guns blazing? What if the guy's a bad shot, misses and puts one into the adjacent house and kills the other neighbor. Does he go down for manslaughter even though his intentions were good? Na, let the cops do their job.....there's enough crazy behavior out there, no need to add to it.
I am all for defending your own at all costs and asking questions afterward, and I have no problem looking out for neighors, but I don't want my neighors shooting up the place on my behalf.
