Regarding the famous old story of the guy who rigged the shotgun trap to kill someone who opened the door:
1. It wasn't his house. It was an abandoned old house on an old farm he owned.
2. The shotgun trap killed a small child.
3. The guy knew that small children liked to come in and explore/vandalize the abandoned old house. The guy set the trap (they call them "spring-guns") to "teach those kids a lesson." That guy was a really sick puppy...
But, that's a TOTALLY different case from what we're talking about. What our guy did was wait in an unlocked house. That's not a "trap," really. It's just placing yourself in anticipation of entering a shootout. I still think our scenario is not quite kosher, but it's not as heinous as the famous old story of the guy who set the shotgun trap.
