Arizona resident shoots four burglars, killing one, police say

No doubt the group was collecting for church donations and getting their lives on track.

Just added some chlorine to the gene pool in copper coated pill form.

Well, that certainly seems to hinge on whether or not the shooter of the revolver had good fire discipline and was able to dispatch each of his/her assailants with a single round.

Don't EVER bet your life on a single round!

Be interesting to hear the rest of the story. Looks like the house was out in the middle of nowhere.

Wonder it they ran at the first shot or tried to return fire. In the chaos of a shooting like that the burglars don't know if one of them shot first or the homeowner
Also assuming the burglars were armed

Aynes was taken to a nearby hospital where she was pronounced dead. Guerrero and James also were rushed to the hospital with gunshot wounds.

Why did they bother to "rush them to the hospital"; they could have taken the scenic route.......

I qualify monthly at the master level with patrol rifle, service pistol and shotgun. If someone breaks into my house I will go to my AR. I know what it is like to fight and good fire discipline sometimes goes out the window unless you are Chuck Norris. You may also be wounded and placing every round into the X-ring is not going to happen. Diligent practice at the range is a wonderful thing but it is not fighting.

Four people breaking into a home at the same time seems unusual but glad the homeowner could handle the situation. Talking about a fight, a homeowner defending his family is ready for a fight and he was!

I wonder if the perps knew the house was occupied.

I wonder if the perps knew the homeowner and there was something else going on? We do not have all of the facts.

When someone says why do you need an AR15 or a pistol with a higher capacity magazine. Also why a revolver isn’t always a good choice. If the suspects had shot back and a gunfight had ensued you’d run out of bullets really quick with a revolver.

Nice shooting. Increasingly showing up on border state trailcams are ilegal aliens, groups of them. Stay armed people.

in a 4 on 1 situation, having the right equipment and the ability to use it effectively can't be overstated- also makes a good case for a weapon mounted light.

This should be called as a home invasion. Not a burglary. Either way, they should have paid more attention in Sunday School.

Two men and two women home invaders is in itself a bit unusual I would suspect.. More information to come. Unfortunate anyone had to loose their life over such stupidity. I didn't see anything indicating that the 4 were armed. In the scheme of things it really does not matter. They (the four) created the situation that caused her death.

As far as what gun is needed to protect yourself and your home, that will likely be argued right up to the day the socialist Democrats take the AR-15's , so called HI Cap pistols, and other semi auto firearms away from the citizens of this fast deteriorating Constitutional Republic.

Each self defense situation is different, and each human involved is also a factor in the outcome. Revolver, AR-15 , or whatever your choice is, keep it ready, and even more important is keep yourself ready.

Very likely meth or other drugs entered into their poor decision to enter someone else's home, uninvited.

Obviously, the wrong home.

Can't always expect a group of bad guy characters to run when bullets start flying. Maybe I will start storing a spare magazine with my HD weapon again.

I suppose a rocket sled to hell counts as "on track"...

I once saw a video of an Asian store owner taking out an armed robbery crew with a .38 revolver.

He received a non-life threatening wound, but wiped them out. He was so precise and methodical that he looked like he was shooting the Steel Challenge.

I've been looking for the video online for years.

Keep shooting until the threat is no longer a threat. If the threat doesn't like that, he ought to reconsider BEING a threat.

I'm not sure this is really an argument for AR's but I'm certainly glad things turned out the way they did.
