Oh, but of course he’s an “aspiring rapper.” Was it really necessary to throw in a sly comment suggesting the home invaders were black?
Especially when, by linking to the story, the one picture of one of them shows he’s white?
Of course it was, don’t be silly.
It’s what a real man thinks about while holding his gun. First, how by mentioning killing people with it women immediately start reaching for your crotch, and how the only good n— is a dead n—.
Or alternatively
I’m not quite sure what the OP expected to accomplish with this thread. I mean, guns are so rarely useful in defending against burglars that the OP thought it was remarkable enough to post about it happening.
And then, of course, there’s the fact that it’s far easier to find stories where a gun didn’t come in handy at all, or where it actually made things worse…
Is it just me, or is this thread really an argument *against *gun ownership? Well done, aceplace57, well done.
Like this lady?
Seems like the story demonstrates genuine security from guns.
So it’s the families fault those poor intruders broke in?

[/QUOTE]So unusual it made national news.
And she used a shotgun.
See:
Like the mass shootings?
Classic example of why VP Joe Bidens idea of giving your wife / daughter a double barrel shotgun will scare intruders away is dead wrong. Esp if there are three or more intruders.
Here is another video showing why women should use AR-15’s, and not shotguns
(the Ar-15 example is near the end of the video)
One intruder was shot, then the other ran away. That hardly supports the idea you have to kill them all.
I can find zero incidents where the homeowner shot three intruders. Although extremely rare, here is how shooting at three intruders goes, when they don’t draw first, and you have good aim:
If you like such anecdotal evidence, try googling these terms:
homeowner shot with own gun
Heck all you had to do was google “homeowner shot three intruders.”
and here is another homeowner who shot 3 intruders
http://www.gunsandammo.com/2013/01/03/read-react-sacramento-homeowner-shoots-intruders/
another one in Virginia
and here is one, where a homeowner is shot first by the intruder, then he shoots back. Misses with the first 2 shots (he was 90 yrs old) but hit the intruder with the THIRD bullet. Intruder still charges him with gun. Intruder then begs homeowner not to shoot him again, saying HE has kids.
PS intruder is now suing the home owner

meanwhile, in Ohio, Joe Biden, junior, has 5 intruders break in…he is only able to shoot 2 of the 5
another homeowner shoots 2 of 3 intruders in Colorado
According to Biden, 2 out of 3 is OK.
just offer the 3rd intruder milk and cookies until the police arrive
homeowner uses semi automatic assault gun to shoot at FOUR intruders.
Mrs Biden would have been raped and killed by the other two
That looks a lot more like a drug thing that a home invasion of random citizen.
I thought that looked like a possibility too, but news since then indicates it was an armed robbery:
"Sheriff’s detectives ID last of four suspects in home invasion shootout
by David L. Teibel on Mar. 03, 2009, under Local, Special
Sheriff’s detectives have identified the last of four suspects in a Feb. 5 home invasion shootout caught on a video surveillance camera.
An arrest warrant charges Jose Manuel Chavez, 21, with aggravated assault, attempted armed robbery and attempted burglary, Detective Sgt. Terry Parish II said.
Two other men – Alejandro Durazo and David Gutierrez, both 22 – have been arrested in the case. Another being sought is thought to be in Mexico, Parish said.
Durazo and Gutierrez were charged with attempted armed robbery, attempted aggravated robbery and aggravated assault, authorities said earlier.
Jesus Mendivil, 23, the suspect believed to have left the country, also is being sought in a warrant obtained last month on the same three charges, Parish said.
The home invasion occurred in the 300 block of West Vande Loo Street, near South Mission and West Valencia roads, Deputy Dawn Barkman said at the time.
Four men armed with pistols and assault rifles tried to break into the home, but were stopped by the homeowner, who grabbed a pistol of his own kept near the front door and opened fire, Barkman said.
One of the four was shot in the arm and they all fled, Barkman said.
Parish said Mendivil is believed to be the suspect who sustained the minor wound."
No, it’s another web page on the same incident. Yes, I should have found that incident when I seached for homeowners or renters who had to shoot three home invaders before they were stopped.
Without proof, I see no reason to allege that. But the link does say that after one assailant was shot in the arm, all four ran away. So it’s hardly an example of a shotgun not being enough.
The US averages 87 gun deaths a day. The average number of those 87 who were criminals gunned down by law-abiding civilians is a small fraction of one.
Small but possibly growing. Googling does show our supposedly liberal media* reporting, more and more often, that a burglar – often unarmed – has been killed by the homeowner. A heartwarming example:
[15-year-old burglary suspect in St. Louis is dead after being shot by the homeowner. . . .
The 33-year-old male homeowner went outside to investigate and reportedly shot Murphy as Murphy approached him.
. . . Police say the shooting appears to be justified.](http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/02/16/st-louis-police-homeowner-killed-burglar/)
I wonder if all the NRA members who, in their teens, once tresspassed in the middle of night, had been shot and killed, how many would be left.
Perhaps a bigger problem with these stories is that the person full of holes is liable to be law abiding citizen:
- EDITED: I see that my liberal media sarcasm is misdirected since it is a FoxNews story. Except that it really is an Associated Press story that must have appears in many news outlets.
I just printed off this study so I could read it, as it just does not sound very likely to me. In doing so I saw it has already been heavily criticized in the same Journal as such:
Continued in letter:

I’m still going to read the article to see which is true.
These. I, too, will be interested in how this plays out, though I doubt anything more will be published about it, even locally.
Yeah, somehow it has to be the victims fault.
