TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Baltimore Ravens cornerback Corey Fuller exchanged gunfire with an intruder outside his home early Wednesday.


Fuller and a house guest went outside to a car when they were confronted by the gunman at about 2:30 a.m. The man chased Fuller back into the house and then fled after about 20 shots were exchanged, police said. No one was injured.


Fuller, whose younger brother, Fred Bates, was shot to death at age 18 in 1992, offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.


"I've already lost one son," said Fuller's mother, Alice Bates. "I don't want to lose another one."


Fuller said the gunman had at least one accomplice inside a waiting getaway car. He said he returned fire with his own .38-caliber revolver, which was inside the home.
 
6 shots from a .38, 15 from a Glock = "around 20 shots." I would be that's why it says "exchanged."
 
wasn't there an article recently condeming NFL players for arming themselves?

makes me wonder sometimes.
 
He's a homeowner first. His occupation is second.

As a homeowner, he has every right of self-defense against an armed intruder.

I don't think that could have been said better.
Whether a drug dealer, police officer, or stay at home mother, everyone has a right to defend thier domicile from unwanted intrusion.
Good for him.
 
Maybe Mr. Fuller should consider moving up to a .357 Magnum? His assailants had a car after all.
 
It would appear that there may be a pro-gun culture in the NFL. I knew football was the only mainstream sport I liked for a reason... :neener:
 
say Mr. Fuller should buy a few firearms

Why? Obviously he was successful with his .38 revolver, causing the BG fled the scene. Success in a Self Defense situation is ending the situation, not neccesarily (sp?) killing the BG.
:banghead:
