Vincent Yakaitis , then 73 , shot and wounded a much younger intruder who charged at him while burglarizing his property.
But more than a year after he used his firearm in self-defense, prosecutors decided to pursue criminal charges against him for carrying a firearm in public without a license.
Similar stories abound, including that of Steve Thompson , a 52-year-old Philadelphia resident who used his lawfully owned firearm in a confrontation with three men.
