Friday morning feel good stories
Time to get ready for the weekend with a couple of Friday morning feel good stories. The first comes from Texas where a son rescues his father from a armed thief;
“[The burglar] got in my truck, opened the door and started digging in my console looking for stuff. So, that’s when I came out of my house and came up behind him with a gun and confronted him,” explains the homeowner.
The burglar ran off –with gun fire chasing him– but he left his get-away vehicle parked on the road.
“I went to his truck to make sure he wasn’t going to get away. I turned his key off and got his key out and he came up behind me and jumped me when my guard was down,” says the homeowner.
The weapon was wrestled from the homeowner’s hands and before he knew it, his own gun was pointed at him.
“I knew he had the gun and I knew there were two more rounds left in it,” recalls the homeowner.
“All I saw was this guy coming up out of the ditch with a gun, and he put that gun on my dad and I just jumped out and put it on him,” says the homeowner’s son.
An oil stain on the pavement shows exactly where the burglar parked. The homeowner says the two got into a scuffle in a nearby ditch. Wednesday, there was still blood on the ground where the burglar was shot.
“He was going to kill my dad. There’s no doubt about that. He was going to kill my dad,” says the son.
The next story, sent by Chief Tango, is from California;
The man who called police, identified as Christopher Charles, said he had just shot an intruder in his home, Joseph said.
When officers arrived at the residence, Charles was found on scene and was cooperative with investigators. Joseph said Charles lives in the residence with his elderly mother.
The alleged intruder, whose name is being withheld due to medical reasons, already had fled the scene on foot by the time police arrived, Joseph said.
Within a few minutes, officers located the male suspect in the 14600 block of Uhl Avenue. Joseph said the man had a gunshot wound to his upper torso that was not life-threatening.
During interviews with police, the alleged intruder made inconsistent statements, Joseph said.
Being that it’s California, they seized the gun, so everyone in the neighbor who knows Mr. Charles, also knows he can’t protect himself tonight.
The next story comes from Virginia;
At 12:18 p.m. officers with the ACPD were dispatched to the 1600 block of Townwood Court for a call of a home invasion and shooting. When they arrived on scene, they found one man dead inside the home, the victim of a gunshot wound. The victim was later identified Ronald Eugene Glover Jr. He was 20 years old and from Albemarle County.
Two men inside the home at the time of the shooting were detained and taken to the police department to be questioned. They were later released.

Why in the hell would the police take the weapon? Good grief can California hurry the fuck up and sink into the ocean already…..
@1: That’s why you always have more than one weapon. That’s why the weapon I carry, I have to consider it a throw away, because if I’m ever in a defensive shooting situation, the weapon will be confiscated and you never know if you will get it back.
I told a guy one time that if Hi Point pitols were reliable, that would be the one to carry, because they cost under $200 and if the cops confiscate it; you aren’t going to cry like you will when the cops take your $1200 Kimber.
@1–because armed men are citizens, and unarmed ones are subjects. Just what liberals want.
And color me shocked if he ever gets it back.
Glad I don’t live in California.
Reminds me of the English farmer who used a shotgun to wound a guy trying to kill him . I believe said farmer is serving a twenty year sentence.
The Texas littering motto seems to have another meaning. Don’t mess with Texas! Joe
@2: That. The pistol I keep next to the bed is a mismatched German-army surplus Walther P38/P1. Only 8 rounds of 9mm hardball, but smooth, reliable, accurate, $300. No tears if Metro has to seize it if I ever have to Turn Someone’s Life Around with it. I’d rather have my H&K USP45 with Trijicon night sights and loaded with 230-grain +P Ranger hollow points, but that baby must stay in the safe because I’d cry if the po-po had to confiscate that one as “evidence.”
Ditto the Mossberg cruiser propped next to the bed. Nice, but at $300, I can live without it.
