I'm not sure if you are allowed to just open fire on some guys who broke into your business. A prosecutor may not look kindly on a guy who moved into his store specifically to shoot the next guys who broke in. Hopefully they were "threatening his life" so he was justified in shooting them. I'd hate to see this man prosecuted for murder.

He has a regular residence. He only "moved in" to his business after multiple break ins. He moved in specifically to catch the thieves in the act. We cannot shoot to protect property.

On that point, he may have done well to remain silent.
Since he was sleeping there, I still say it was his domicile.
