Good for him! This is exactly why i carry everywhere i go, you just cannot trust people at all and life is too fragile to leave it up to a criminal to take!
way to go more people need to take care of their own protection
because police can do nothing till a crime has been comited and then it might be to late
If it would have been me the last thing he would have needed was a hospital.
THATS NOT FAIR ! poor burglar …..
Strange that he would comply with an order to drop the shotgun when the home owner had a small derringer BUT, then charge the homeowner when he was holding a shotgun that the suspect knew was loaded. STRANGE !! Must be more to this story.
