Tuesday morning feel good story
Chief Tango sends us our feel good stories this morning. The first is from Bakersfield, California where a fellow was rewarded for kicking down another man’s door with a well-placed shot group;
Police said at about 4:51 a.m. the man who was killed was trying to kick in the front door, and was shot by another man in the house.
Police believe the homeowners and the suspect knew one another.
The suspect died at the scene.
The next story comes from Iberia, Louisiana, where the intruder reported to 9-1-1 that he had been shot;
Charles Prince attempted to break into a balcony bedroom at a home in the 5500 block of East Admiral Doyle Drive, on March 23.
Prince woke the victim, who grabbed a hand gun and fired 2 shots at Prince, hitting him once in the arm.
The victim called the Sheriff’s Office around 8:39 p.m. and explained that he had shot at an intruder.
Shortly afterward, the Sheriff received a 911 call from Prince who said he had been shot near the victim’s home.
He should have called the police before he tried to break in and saved everyone some trouble.
Finally, we have another story from Illinois where 26-year-old Michael Huston tried to liberate some of one homeowner’s property;
About 11:20 a.m. Saturday, Huston broke into a house in the 38W000 block of Mallard Lake Road in unincorporated St. Charles Township and was shot by the man who owns the home, police said.
Huston, of the 300 block of Walnut Street in St. Charles, was found by sheriff’s deputies a few blocks away and taken to Delnor Community Hospital in Geneva with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
The 43-year-old homeowner was alone at home at the time, and has a valid Illinois FOID card, the statement said.
One thing I’ve noticed about these things is that they’re just as likely to occur in the day time as they are night these days.

Good. Get ventilated you no respect for other people’s privacy and or property having fucks.
Yeah, they don’t care if it’s day or night, anymore. That’s ok, the 170 lbs. of teeth and attitude is usually up for a game of chew toy any time of the day or night. A survey taker found that out a couple weeks ago when he thought that he could push my door open further while talking to me (hint; the pooch didn’t like that move and told him so).
I just love these feel good stories. Makes me want to put in more range time. Who’s with me?
I’m way behind in range time. Mr. Heckler and Mr. Koch need exercise.
You’re right about the day time stuff. Around here we have a current warning from local LE about guys pretending to be with the security company ADT, phony looking IDs and everything. They come at odd hours of the day and on two occasions pushed their way past elderly women and stole their stuff. Even in the day, if I look out and don’t know them…then they don’t know that in my hand behind the door I am holding my .45 Glock. I might have to take a few steps back for positioning, if threatened, so as to let them step into my home a few steps. But after fair warning…warning being that bang you hear…there will only be one story told…mine. I’m too old to run and too old to listen to the junk I did when I was younger. I would not like the idea of taking a life, however, the key word was “threatened”. I just don’t take to threats well anymore either.
I agree with your SOP. Don’t phuck with us old guys. We’re cranky and impatient. We also aim at center-of-mass.
