Home invasion fails

| September 24, 2010

Old Trooper sent us this link about a home invasion in Houston. It seems some friendly armed burglars were calling on some neighbors when the malicious, heartless homeowner took it upon himself to ruin an otherwise peaceful evening;

A husband and wife were in their second-story apartment at the time with their three-year-old child. They heard a knock at the door followed by some banging. They looked out the window and saw two men. One of the men had a gun, and began to force his way inside.

Well, you probably know what happened after that, so let’s get to the important part;

The family was unhurt ….

Another American clinging to his gun. When will we be like the rest of the civilized world and finally disarm these nuts?

Castle Doctrine…gotta love it.

And, the homeowner saved the citizens of Texas a shitload of money by avoiding a trial and incarcerating that POS for the next several years.

Too bad the didn’t have the opportunity to bust a cap in the other one’s ass as well.

Maybe next time…

The reporting sure does get dry and boring when the media has to say something against their personal world-view, doesn’t it?

And WHY do they add such silly things as that ‘the suspects targeted the wrong apartment by mistake’ business? Would they have put that in the report if the attackers had killed the family and ransacked the apartment? Of course not. It’s almost like the newsmedia has a playbook they go by, and when the situation turns out differently from what they expect / what their playbook says, they get rattled.

Thank the NRA for their magazine that routinely reports situations of armed self-defense, or we’d never hear about it.

KTRK is the most liberal staion in Houston. Hands-down.

And what kind of idiot burglar knocks?

This just smacks of Darwinism to me.

“When will we be like the rest of the civilized world and finally disarm these nuts? “
So that we can be like those other severely oppressed people, and have to buy a pair of shoes, (not necessarily in our size), on a particular day only because it is “buy shoes day”. So that we cannot move in our neighborhoods without our movement being reported to gummint. So that a dentist will have to work overtime in the cockpit of a “Yanqui” tourists sportfishing boat to make more than a ditchdigger.
Damned Gunowners anyway, keeping things all free, protecting the constitution and all……………

ROS: In many instances, the burglar knocks to see if the person will answer the door, and also to check to see if there is a dog in the house. If the person doesn’t answer the door, they then proceed to break in.

It would be extremely foolish for someone to attempt to break into my house, since they would be greeted by 170lbs. of 4 legged attitude, which would give me time to draw a nice bead for a headshot.

Ditto, OT. I lost my mastiff to a heart defect earlier this summer, but there will be another. And there are always 230gr candies.

The Houston area has reports of this kind of thing very frequently, including an off-duty officer shot earlier this year when he walked up on two burglars in his apartment complex.

Did I mention that I hate this place?

I took a course on home protection from the local police and the instructor said “there are two things home invaders hate to hear: a dog barking and the sound of a shotgun being cocked.”

We had those fake ADT salespeople in our subdivision last week and the fake Kirby people too. They’ll offer a 2 liter Coke and when you open the door to take it, they rush the door (keeps them from having to break it down which is SO HARD)and get on with the raping and pillaging. The especially like hitting neighborhoods with school-age kids during the day – stay at home mom, all alone and feeling safe in broad daylight.

Men, buy your woman a gun she can use and then make sure she KNOWS how to use it. It took 3 weeks to find one that works for me but if someone makes it past my 3 German Shepherds they’re going to get a hollow-point surprise!
