I don’t know if its available in the non police/military world but Ive heard tell of a pepper spray canister with a small hose on it… slip it under the door and give em a squirt.. they’ll leave.. or make something up that works the same way..

It would take a lot of CS to effect someone outside a door if your spraying from underneath.

Without knowing any more, I'd say the 60 yo was justified in shooting the 48 yo. If a reasonable person sees what looks like a pistol, it's presumed to be a pistol; you are justified in using deadly force.

It may take you $175 - 25 90K to plead your case (in legal fees), but it's winnable.

If he didn't open the door, there wouldn't be a case.

If he broke down your door, there probably wouldn't be a case.

Don't open the door.

Good advice, Miguel. The defender may have been "right", but now he is open to defending himself in the court system and that is rarely a good idea.
