But, Who wants to bring or lure the fight into your castle (home) where your family is at?

Is your family better served by you walking out on to the front porch (leaving the "gate" of said "castle" open) with a firearm to confront 20 possible gang members? How likely is that action to result in your family being murdered with the firearm that was supposed to defend them?
Being inside the house offers concealment and probably some degree of cover as well. It funnels the attackers into certain areas - and even in New York, it eliminates a lot of the legal guess work for the cops about who the bad guy was.
Apparently the shooter gave an interview and said that his cousin was in an altercation with some of the gang members on the lawn and was surrounded, which is why he went outside with the rifle. I imagine there is a lot more going on here than what was reported in the news; but that would certainly complicate any defensive strategy.
