A homeowner in Sacramento is being treated for non life threatening wounds after successfully fighting off 3 armed home invaders who tried to attack his home last night.
The homeowner grabbed a weapon after 3 armed men tried to break into the home, and opened fire.
The homeowner was shot by one of the suspects, but he managed to shoot all 3 suspects. One of the shot suspects died at the scene and the other 2 are being detained by police as they try to figure out exactly what happened.
Residents say there were children in the home at the time of the attempted home invasion. There may have been a children’s slumber party going on at the time of the attack.
Editor’s note: We are thankful that the homeowner was fast acting and armed or we could be talking about a mass murder of children at a slumber party today.

Well done to the homeowner. But of course it’s on the police that know how to shoot. Citizen’s just don’t have the proper training /Sarc
Citizens in order to own a gun should have to take a course on how to use the gun. Common sense. Obviously this guy had some training if he got all 3 of the guys breaking into his house. So I don’t understand how its thought to be “on the police that know how to shoot” since the homeowner shot them… Not the police… Just saying.
Spoken like a Obammy Loving left wing moron Sammy
That’s the stupidest comment I ever read. Liking Obama has nothing to do with gun rights. I voted for Obama, and I uphold the 2nd amendment. Kudos to this man for protecting his home as every American has the right to.
Sure it does, Obama is very against the 2nd Amendment and would do away with it all together, he also doesn’t care much for the first amendment and we know he wants to bend the rules on the 4th as well to suit his needs
Heck, if he could, he’d do away with the whole Constitution.
Wrong !
Well, I would say you are a moron. I can not think of one good reason to vote for Obama. I guess if I were looking for a handout, I could have voted for him. So far, everything is worse with him in office. My paycheck is $150 less a week.
Your an idiot Rob . Not everyone who is “FOR the right to bear arms” is against Obama, that shows how ignorant you are. I voted for Obama as well and i want to KEEP my guns…. and then i know people who voted for Romney and ALSO feel the same way. So YOU look like the MORON with that comment…. just saying
If you voted for Obama, you DO NOT want to keep your guns…. he was quite clear on his stance of guns before his re-election.
wrong again
What are you saying? People should just be able to own a gun with no training?
That is as moronic as your comment. They should be tained how to use it and secure it so nobody unlicenced can get it, take it to school or on a home invasion and shoot some poor inocent person.
Matt, you do realize no state currently requires any sort of hands on training to own a firearm right? Also, in many states you don’t have to have any training to get a concealed carry permit. The states that have more guns and make it easier for citizens to buy guns, have lower crime. Please read John Lott’s study, “More Guns, Less Crime
Im 21 years old been rasied aroud firearms my whole life and have been shooting since i could talk.We the people dont need to have any short of training to own a firearms thats why theres class’s for those who wish to take them.LIke the comment below (brad) the police are in no way or form “marksmen” and half dont know the law as it stands.I personly dont see how any one would wanna take any form of firearms away or speak against them maybe you have never been a spot where a firearm was needed.”No man who refuses to bear arms in defense of his nation can give a sound reason why he should be allowed to live in a free country” T. Roosevelt
That quote was in regards to war.
Not to hunting. Or any personal use for weapons. I don’t understand the bearing it has on this conversation.
Not to start trouble or anything. You may have valid points. But, that quote is not one of them.
The second amendment is not about hunting,it is about making sure that the general population remains as powerful as our government. It is our only guarantee we have that we will not be oppressed by our own govt. or any other invading government. When we invaded Iraq we claimed victory within a mater of days and in fact we had defeated their military forces. However due to the fact that their general population was well armed it made it impossible to take and hold their land. It is for this reason that Americans must stay well armed not with guns for hunting ducks but with weapons of war. It is quite possible that the knowledge of how well armed Americans are has already prevented us from being attacked on our own soil.
Our founders were, for the most part, rich business or property owners. It makes more sense they wanted armed militia’s to prevent uprisings, not to encourage them. Stability is good for business.
As far as Iraq, all those house hold guns didn’t seem to help promotes a free society, as opposed to a police state that is was, for all those years. What does Afghanistan tell us?
Nothing is as clean cut as people would like it to be.
That’s the most stupid comment I have heard in a long while. You obviously have not read the personal writings of the founding fathers.
“quint,” that is the best statementI have read in regards to what everyone else has written. It was well thought out, and very tactful. Kudos, Sir!
Quint, there should be no further talk after your statement. Well said, sir! It is highly unlikely that another country would attempt to invade us, but it is not impossible. I’d like to believe that everyday citizens would make the difference if that were to happen. Things like armed robberies happen quite frequently. A person should have the right to protect his home with whatever he chooses. Personally, I believe in overkill when it comes to my home, family, friends and even my neighbors. Unfortunately, not everyone is responsible or stable enough to own and operate a firearm. However, this is America. There are many who can’t responsibly operate a vehicle, consume alcohol, or even eat properly. Yeah, see how many people choke to death each year. Then you have pedestrian deaths. So, walking is out. Ok, no drinking, eating, driving or walking. Rant over!
and the fact that they would have to come by boat (impossible) and btw we were attacked on 9/11 on our own soil. good thing you had a gun
Sam, the “/Sarc” at the end meant “sarcasm”. .357Sig was being sarcastic.
Sam, in California you are required to pass a gun safety course and demonstrate safe handling in order to purchase any handgun.
That’s not true Bob – In California, you only need to go through a quick FBI check to ensure you aren’t a convicted felon, have any violent crime convictions, have any restraining orders, or have been deemed mentally incompetent. There are no classes whatsoever required to acquire a firearm. That only takes place if you’re seeking a concealed carry permit.
Sorry Nick, but your knowledge is sorely out of date. To purchase a HANDGUN in the state of California, you must first take a gun safety test and pay a fee to receive a handgun purchase certificate that is good for five years.
This is in addition to the backgound check, DROS, assorted state and local fees, a 10-day waiting period, and proof of ownership of an approved gun safe and/or the purchase of a gun trigger safety lock.
The first time California gun buyer has a 30 day waiting time, must show proof of a locked safe and gun locks.
the 30 day wait is a new one to me. but then I was never a califonia gun buyer just purchasing a firearm in califonia while there on military orders. I still had the 10 day wait, had to provid proof of safe/buy lock, pay all the CA fee’s and laughed when they handed me 2 10 round mag’s and t ook away my 15 round mag. why give someone 2 10 rounds if your taking away a single 10 round? I did no have to take the course, being active duty and not a CA resident.
David,
Nearly every gun purchase has a ten day waiting period. The 30 days that you are thinking of may be the one handgun per 30 day period.
You must have purchased a gun lock just prior to the gun purchase OR have proof that you own a DOJ approved gun safe.
There are a lot of exceptions to the above such as law enforcement and C&R collectors. It’s convoluted, probably on purpose.
Max Entropy/…sorry, but I didn’t have to wait at all..bought it on the spot in SC
Right ! But murderers, armed home invaders, felons ,and other low life don’t have to do all that stuff !
I believe a California Handgun Safety Certification test is required. But it’s not as thorough as the available safety training courses.
Then why do I have to demonstrate how to handle a firearm safely every time I purchase one and finally get to leave the store with it? And also you do have to pass a written test in order to purchase handguns. Not necessarily training per say but meh.
well where I live here in California the gun shop owner will not sell weapon of any sort without some sort of documented safety training.
Your not required to take a course in CA, your required to pass a 25 question test that anyone with a brain can pass with no studying at the gun counter to get your “Handgun Safety Certificate” and showing that you can load/unload a gun doesn’t prove you can shoot or use it properly. And if you say Im wrong on any of these points you’ve never purchased a handgun in CA.
I don’t know what century youre living in but this is already a procedure followed by most gun owners and potential gun owners.
Sam are you an idiot?
The poster put /sarc which means that was said with sarcasm.
For another most states require you to have training. You must have training for concealed carry.
The argument after…… grow up people.
If you dont have the proper training then go out and get it. Police do not get trained as well as you might think. Patrol cops get once a year shoot a score and go about your business training. Only SWAT etc gets more than that. Some depts might actually get a class ever 6 months but a private citizen can get trained easily cheapily and whenever they want it.
But it’s the police’s job to protect us… What’s that? The Supreme Court has ruled numerous times that it isn’t, and the reason officers are called law enforcement is because their job is to enforce the law? Oh… Well.. I’ll be damned. Lol. Definitely good on the homeowner. These guys obviously meant business, and it was nothing short of commendable that he acted so quickly and was able to quell the attack before they all became victims.
As a veteran and a law enforcement instructor, I have to disagree with .357 sig. I am a civilian and train monthly. As stated above, Law enforcement agencies have no responsibilty to protect the individual. They are there for the good of the community
It that is so then why do you hear them say “We can’t do anything until the perp does something”? In other words, until your girlfriend, mother, daughter get raped, robbed or killed they can’t do anything. Not a DAMN t hing.
I am not a “civilian”. I am a “Citizen”. That means I am armed and free.
only time will tell what actually happened or why the intruders were attempting to brake in… might have been a kidnapping gone bad.
just one of many incidents that prove that guns save lives and the right to own and use them should not be discouraged or controled…. and agree that training should be required.
“If” the home had managed to call the police, even if they responded quickly, with out the gun in the house, and the owner quick thinking, chances are something much worse would/could now be in the news.
It’s on the police to know how to shoot? What’s that all about? It’s both wrong and naive.
Police are not there to protect our homes. By the time you call them and get them to your home, they are too late to do any immediate protecting.
It is not hard for citizens to get the proper training to shoot.
Hey “sig” where were the cops when these criminals broke into his home? What about all the stories we hear about police shooting innocent people? Your ignorant comment speaks volumes. I hope you are the first in line to turn in your guns. Be sure to give out your address while you’re at it. Let the criminals that you are disarmed.
357 Sig
was being SARCASTIC !
You would think people who are supposed to be intelligent would have noticed his name is 357 Sig and the /sarc at the end and would quickly figure that out.
Jeez these people are such gleaming examples of the dumbing down provided by our public schools. Maybe they just don’t have a sense of humor? Maybe it’s just the sense part they lack.
He was being sarcastic. Notice /sarc at the end.
you can go ahead and pull the cop out of your pocket and use that the police job is to respond after a insedent happens they can’t be there to prevent it
the media should be calling this home owner a hero for his quick action to protect his family and the other children that were in the home
Bs
Thank goodness those children had a capable adult looking out for their safety.
Sometimes the 911 queue is 30 minutes. Add this to how long it would take the police to arrive at the scene and you could have close to an hour before help would arrive. To the Progressives who believe “it’s the police’s job to protect citizens, let them do their job”, ask yourself these questions:
1. How much damage could an intruder do with a handgun in the hour you are waiting for the police to arrive?
2.Why do you think the Police can be everywhere at once? Many cities have one Officer for 2000 residents.
3. How many stories have you heard of women calling for police protection from stalkers only to be told “nothing can be done until a crime is committed”? The fact the call was made only comes out during the post mortum investigation after the woman’s murder!
Seriously, police are by and large NOT marksmen by any means. You’d be surprised all the true stories about cops’ gun safety. The Cpt. I took my CCW class from told the class about how cops used to believe that the only way to take out a round in the chamber of a semi-auto pistol, was to drop the mag, and fire the gun!!
thank goodness the people who broke in,
had less training than the man defending his home and family.
however keep in mind, all the details of this incident, hasnt’ been published yet.
from the news blurbs, looks like this is going to complicate fast.
I say he just needs a little more time at the range and he would have killed all 3
Amen !!
And now calif will arrest him for haveing a gun??? or MORE gun laws !!!
Jim in Indio?
To bad he didnt have more practice at the range where justice would have been properly handed out by killing all three of these criminals. In my home it would been criminals zero, home owner 3. This should tell you why the score would have been so one sided, SEMPER FI!
Good for him & thank God he is practicing his 2 amendment!!!lets see if CNN talks about this or our President but i won’t hold my breath…I hope the home owner will be ok & all the children in the house are ok…
Those kids would be “DEAD” if the Homeowner did NOT have Guns! Blessings to him for SAVING their little Lives! Amen!
Worse, those kids could have been taken and sold into the sex trade market.
Boy …you all hit the nail on the head. Incompetent citizens with guns. Shame on him for protecting his home and family. I wouldn’t even think of putting my life before my children’s. I would just sit there and let the intruders shoot us all…the law knows best.!!!!
Citizens can learn to shoot as well, if not better, than the police. Police are not born with an extra gene, they are citizens who chose the profession of being in law enforcement. Those of you that think the rest of us can’t learn are in denial. I am a citizen who has been trained in marksmanship and defensive shooting. If my front door is kicked in, I am ready.
Both my husband and I conceal carry. We are trained and licensed by the state of Utah. Last night one of the girls heard a noise outside. Husband didn’t hesitate to grab his 9mm Springfield to investigate. Family first. People need to wake up. The pOlice May not be there to help investigate the homicide after the gunman leaves.
I’m from Sac, and it does my heart good to see someone doing the right thing here! Glad to hear someone died at the scene! Where that incident happened, it isn’t far from a really bad part of town, and Sac PD needs to find this homeowner justified under Sec. 197 of the CA Penal Code!
It doesn’t say what kind of gun he used. Was it a handgun? Is a handgun adequate – or did he need to use a semi-automatic rifle capable of firing 30, or 100, shots without reloading?
Really? Who cares, he saved the lives of kids? How were the intruders armed? Your position on gun control is obvious.
@Kevin: Obviously he didn’t have enough ammo, two of the intruders survived.
When seconds count, law enforcement is only minutes away.
They will be happy to notify your next of kin. LOL
Are you guys for real? What is all this about training, NONE of you were there, you don’t know the house layout or anything , and this guy needs training! He was probably scared out of his mind and still acted on protection of his family, and made it through!!! He is a hero in my book. Easy for people to give out their interpratation of their vast knowledge in this guys actions, H E R O ! ! ! ! ! !
So Right!
For everyone of those stories we hear of homeowner shooting family member coming home late or unexpectally, kids finding the gun and shooting other kids. No real answer unless society changes to trust everyone and everyone behaves civilly.
To require training, would only hinder access to self defense in one’s own home.
I spent 12 years in the military as an Airborne Ranger, and later moved up to SF, and have tons of training. While I still shoot at least monthly, upon recovering from wounds and being unable to hit the range I did notice a slight decline in my shooting abilities albeit quickly overcome. It is imperative that gun owners practice regularly… I do dry fire exercises ( using practice dummy rounds and weighted training magazines after emptying all rounds from other mags… safety first) and it is a lifesaver on its own. It is that training that has me able to reload in the same time it does to get on target and to clear malfunctions/jams quickly and efficiently. It is half of all weapons training in the military actually… the basic handling and operations… it is also the most critical portion of training. I went surgeries and months of recovery and sure I was capable of accurate placement and tight groupings, however it was those fundamentals which had declined.
Point is you don’t necessarily need to go to the range often to practice. Being safe and doing dry fire drills can make a bigger difference as can the range…
But requiring regular training, unless provided by the govt (less ammo), ie local police (which I think should be done myself) nobody should be forced to pay for training/instruction, and all that. I would encourage it but I cannot say to mandate it.
USAF Vet and firearm owner. I do think gunowners should go through a safety class, know how to disassemble, clean and reassemble their gun. As for the police, they usually don’t do anything until after the crime has already been commited.
Well stated Amy, that’s exactly why citizens need to be able to defend themselves.
California DOES require people buying guns to pass a written gun safety test.
This just shows the HONEST people are the ones who need to be able to protect themselves from the criminals. If you take away our guns, only the criminals will have guns!
I live in Sacramento and CA laws here require EVERYONE to take and pass a gun safety class or you cannot purchase any firearms..period..cops here are scarce due to budget cuts so that homeowner is ‘n the clear..the evidence speaks for itself its his home, they shot him and to defend his and the children’s lives, he shot back..it’s just standard procedure so its on paper. That’s all so unless you live here, don’t jump to conclusions or make assumptions that cops and states all are alike..
I also live in California and have taken the written test. It is a commen sense test given on a PC and is easy to pass, no studying required.
The problem in California is that this guy will probably get sued and have to pay to defend himself in court.
Damn good thing he was a homeowner and not a teacher.
Shame on you…….teachers have sacrificed their lives protecting other people’s children.
Think before you speak.
He didn’t mean what you think he meant.
I live in Massachusetts where we have the strictest gun laws. I am a gun owner and had to take a corse for my license to carry. So for the people that say we should take a class to own and operate a gun. We do. People will kill with or without guns. Are you gonna give a course for sticks and stones next?
I want an armed guard stationed at EVERY SLUMBER PARTY! Pew pew.
A couple of quick things to mention: I left CA in March of this year but I was a gun owner and I can say that at the time I left, if you wanted a handgun (not long gun) you needed to study the Handgun Safety Certificate (HSC) study guide and take the written test to obtain your HSC. Then when you purchase a handgun retail, you are required to demo safe handling. Basically, show that you can tell if the gun is clear, load a round and then empty the gun and return it to an unloaded state. I did not need to take any class. I found it very easy to obtain a handgun in CA as long as you were OK with what was on the DOJ’s approved handgun roster. That’s to possess a handgun…to carry (i.e., CCW) is a whole different story.
Now second thing…I followed the link to the source story…there was no mention of a sleepover or kids…so where did that detail come from?
It’s easy to miss, but there is a link to a “Page 2″ at the bottom of the source article. Not sure why they broke their post into 2 pages.
Thanks so much…in fact the article seems completely re-written now since I first read it. It does now have a link to page two and include details about children/sleepover.
Replying to myself is tacky I know…here’s why I didn’t get the right info…I used this link:
http://www.news10.net/news/article/222195/2/1-dead-in-Sacramento-home-invasion
News10 KCRA 3
DUH!
Good Job, managing to shot 3 after being shot in the process. Get well soon!
The first time California gun buyer has a 30 day waiting time and must show he/she has a locked gun safe and/or gun locks.
I don’t remember that…I thought it was 10 day waiting period and one handgun every thirty days. I’m now a NY’er so I stopped keeping current on CA law; I could be wrong.
Well done!
I am just going to guess he was sensible and had the gun out of it’s safe, loaded and ready.
Again, well done.
The point of this is to show that weapons in the hands of law abiding citizens do save lives like the editor said we could be talking about a mass murder today if it wasn’t for the quick thinking of an Armed civilian
CA gun laws are rediculously stupid!!! Why on Earth do they require a written test score to assure gun safety before purchasing a firearm? More beurocratic bullshit if you ask my opinion..
Honestly? I think its nothing but good in this situation, this man defended his family and loved ones from attack, and did so in a quick and effective manner, there are going to be people shouting for “gun contol this, gun control that” and thats unavoidable, but lets not forget to send a quick prayer up to heaven that this brave soul will heal up and live a long life
The waiting day period is 11 days folks as we are purchasing one as we speak.This information from TDS gun shop in Rocklin, California
Statistics can be misleading. If there were indeed approximately 700 lives saved by guns in the last year but more lost through gun violence, one might erroneously conclude that guns in the hands of citizens is a losing proposition. This is because we can never know the deterrent effect on criminals who might otherwise commit home invasions if they thought there were no guns. In other words, what keeps evil men from committing evil deeds is not because they are good but rather because they fear being caught or killed. There can be no statistic for that.
Sorry..I guess not every state follows others rules…I didn’t have to wait at all when I bought my gun…bought it right then and there…in SC..
So how would the laws proposed to Congress and supported by Obama have impacted this homeowners right? Specifically address what the actual change to law would be and how it would have prevented his right to own the gun he used to defend himself and/or the size of magazine he used.
Furthermore, there have been 161 firearm deaths since Newtown. Why is this the only one worth focusing on? Why should legislation which would have no impact on THIS incident stop the legislation which could have an impact on the other 160?
I doubt any gun advocates will actually try and answer my questions honestly though. They’ll just rail at me for being a “liberal.” So tired of hearing ranting and rhetoric when reason is needed.
Please tell me how many people where killed by drunk drivers during this time? How many where stabbed to death…..gun comtrol is NOT the answer the DECAY OF SOCIETY IS.
I grew up in southwest Detroit I can shoot and decent at that. As a summer job for a few years I worked at a local range where officers from surrounding cities counties and even some state officers. Some were decent to well trained shooters other couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn to save there lives let alone ours . Ammo cost just as much to them as to us. Some departments used to provide ammo and made mandatory a certain amt of rounds a month for pracricei have now heard that is no longer the case the departments can no longer afford to have ammo as an exspense so if an officer does not push the issue themselves they are getting no training.I was also told by a few instructors for concealed carry and self defense training that some of thw worst shooting they had ever seen was by officers of the law so protect yourself and others do not depend on someone to do it for you…stay safe god bless
The homeowner was defending himself and his family and their guests. That is a right of American citizenship. There have been a number of home invasion robberies in this part of California. Every once in a while they end like this one. I just feel bad that the homeowner was injured. But justice has been served. Next case!
The police are armed not to protect citizens from bad guys but to protect themselves.
Killing is the best way to handle such genetic trash. Get rid of them! Saves time and money.
A round through the head: $0.20.
30 yrs in jail: Ca. %400000.00
Trial: Ca. $100000.00
The conclusion is obvious. Shoot to kill.
This homeowner must be commended for his presence of mind and valor.
.357 SIG WAS BEIND SARCASTIC. LOOK UP SARCASM IN THE DICTIONARY YOU ILLITERATE FUCKS. GOD I HATE AMERICANS.
Ugh, I spelled being wrong of course. Now who’s illiterate?
Blue steel democrats… I just can not grasp how their is such a thing!
“Gun possession is a hazardous war affecting children in their homes and schools
Eight children a day die from a gunshot wound in the U.S.
A million violent gun crimes are committed by 18 to 20 year olds
with homicide being the leading cause of death
How is it possible that 200 million guns
are owned in the U.S. with only 80 million legal owners?
Until we do something, guns will continue to flood the streets
along with the consequences”
In my opinion, hand guns are okay. Weapons, such as, assault riles, should have some strict restrictions. Even though the civilian classed weapon have been modified, they are still extremely deadly. We arm ourselves in case of the government or another government take over? Well, they have tanks and missiles. Good luck stopping them with your guns
@Kenyatta: You can’t kill the population with tanks and missiles. If you could, there would be no need for pistols and rifles, and the soldiers that carry them.
An ASSAULT RIFE has the capability to shot single shot, rapid fire (3 round burst) and full auto. The civilian AR-15′s fire SINGLE SHOT ONLY. (I assume what you think of an assault weapon to be) Real assault weapons require EXTENSIVE background checks, a minimum of 6 mouths before they even CONSIDER your permit to buy one. (and can deny for no reason) Also fully auto weapons are extremely costly. ie $15,000 Just because it looks “scary” doesn’t make it an assault weapon any more then the .22 I have. This a term the media and gun grabbers throw around to incite fear among the ignorant people of America. If we give up our guns, we will all be doomed.
First, the 2nd Amendment was written with the first 10 amendment which came to be the “Bill of Rights”. Most of the colonies refused to sign the Constitution unless they added something safe guarding the people from the New established Government. Once the “Bill of Rights” was added to the Constitution all the States signed the document. These people just fort a war for their freedom and independence and wanted to make sure that a Government would never make them it subjects again.
Second, we have a “God” given right at birth to “Life, Liberty, and the prosuit to happiness”. These are not things granted by man to another man, but nature and a higher power. This being said being you have the right to “Life” you need the ability to protected that life, hence the “Right to Bear Arms”. Therefor to even have a shot of preserving that life, you need something equal to are greater than the weapon that maybe used against you. I don’t know about you but I believe in the equal opportunity to the preservation of life!
third, I’m in Law Enforcement, the criminal doesn’t own his gun legally nor does he care. Most guns are not taken from law abiding citizens. People can’t but full automatic tech-9′s at there local gun store. So you people how think that if you take guns from the good people, all guns will magically go away are every uninformed and naive. We can’t stop illegal immigrants and drugs from crossing our boards, yet you think we can stop guns? The number 1 deterrent for a criminal is an “armed victim” not us the Police. 9 out of 10 times we show up after you are a victim.
fourth, who ever talked about children being killed by guns is falling for a bullshit statistic. In a “L.R.I” report which is used for statistics by the Government, they like to leave out the part were most of the shootings involving kids ages 15 to 18 that are gang related. They leave that out and call it “children” killed by guns. There is approx 12,000 gun related killings a year, but there are approx 6,000 guns used each day to preserve life. Why isn’t that reported? In 2 days guns saved as many lives as criminals kill in a year!
Lastly, ever tyranny in history started with proactive “gun control”. Slowly the people let their Governments take more and more gun rights until they couldn’t stop them. In the end hundreds of millions of people died. It even happened in this country. This country made it illegal for Native Americans to own firearms. When the guns were taken soldiers murdered whole villages of Native Americans. Later in our history when African Americans were set free of slavery. The Government made it illegal for them to own firearms. Once again tens of thousands died.
This country is heading in the direction that our founders feared, a collective of people who are happy just existing instead of living. John Locke wrote of it as well. This is our country and don’t give up any part of your individual sovereignty to anyone or we’re doomed to repeat our own dark history!
So, how long befor they vilify this man for having a gun an charge him with murder?
Defending home and the children inside….this guy is a hero
You’ve all been duped. This story is mostly NOT true. There don’t seem to have been any kids at the house, there were only two alleged intruders, etc. And the hero homeowner has been arrested– an ex-felon in possession of firearms and illegal ammunition. Sorta makes you wonder if those guys were even intruders, but the facts will likely come out.
Source please? There was a recent story where the homeowner involved was a felon, but this is the first we’ve heard about it for this story. In fact, subsequent reports have supported the original story.
crossbows and blowguns,THINK!
