Man defends home from armed robbers with a samurai sword.

[Flintlock]

They sell replicas at every mall in the country. don't know the context of the word authentic though, if they mean 'priceless heirlooms' from Japan, maybe...

I think it was on the discovery channel, some crime show, someone stole a samuri sword, then the police had to surround him, hose him down with a fire hose, and restrain him with a ladder to get him to surrender. I don't quite remember, but I though they said that.
It was proabably something like he stole it, and it was a priceless heirloom, like you said

This guy was from Irving, Texas right? So he probably won't have too many problems.

Yes, Texas law allows you to defend your home from an uninvited intruder that is a threat to the occupant’s lives. But I assure you not all Texans sit on a rocking chair on their front porch stating, "Get off my property" to anybody who passes by.

The man was defending himself, even if the burglar ends up dead, he was within the law. More power to him I say.
