I'm sure the guy with the machete would have said, "Sure, no problem" and left peacefully.
And who knows, he probably just came inside because he wanted to be friends. Or maybe he came in to say "Sorry, I tripped and broke your door. How much do I owe you for the damage, my friend?"

But he had no idea he would encounter some insane person with a gun who was having paranoid delusions that he's a cowboy.

That video is horrible. I hope the guy who got shot is ok. The person with the gun should be locked up for a long, long time. Guns should be against the law.
