Good.

Home invaders SHOULD be shot...

I know that family who was invaded is going thru a lot of trauma now, but they did the right thing by fighting back. More of us need to do this and maybe the criminals will get the message !!

Happened in TX. Good. No grief from the authorities.

Hose off the driveway, and get back to business as usual.

Another good example of what happens when somebody refuses to be a victim. Its not what you got but what you do with what you do have.

That's why I say, "Hey Man...nice shot."

Darwin Award goes to....

Both men ran, but the one later identified as Benoit came back to fight again.

"That's when they dispatched him," Cain said.

Why were those two even walking the street with criminal records like that?

 

[Omaney]

Great! Another thug is gone.

 

[texas bulldog]

looks like a good shoot.

 

[Josh Aston]

Maybe next time they'll have their own gun instead of having to fight one away from the thugs.

<-------- I love happy endings.

God bless that family. They had to fight for their very lives. No joke.

Any one crashing my door like that, won't live beyond 3 seconds, I guarantee.

I like this note:

The weapon's barrel, he added, had been illegally chopped down to 17 inches.

Brilliant! They commit another felony (along with the 20 others) while getting no tactical advantage! I know most criminals are dumb, but wow.

Another reason why Castle Doctrine works.

I said good out loud before even clicking the thread. Then it opens and the first comment is "Good" hahah

 

[SSN Vet]

the eternal principle of sewing and reaping played out in one act.

 

[RobertRogers]

If these thugs thought most people were armed, there would be far fewer home invasions, robberies, rapes, etc.

Best line of the story:

"It seems like they weren't in their full faculties."

Obviously not.

We just had one of those here in Charlotte yesterday. Homeowner comes home, strange car in the driveway, finds side door kicked in, confronts intruder inside the house, intruder charges homeowner, homeowner drops his sorry azz on the spot, DRT........ Intruder has a sheet as long as my leg, why is he even out on the street???? Won't happen again......

Great job, but wouldn't it be easier to have your own shotgun? Sounds like the 12yo son was the only one remotely prepared, grabbing his young sister and hiding with the best defensive tool he had. The whole family seems to be able to think on its feet.

Not to be nitpicky but you kinda contradicted yourself there....

Anyway, they did good and the fact that the son grabbed his younger sister and the shotgun shows that he not only had skills in shooting but also parenting.
