Thursday morning feel good story
A short feel good story from Chief Tango this morning, because the number of these stories is more newsworthy than the actual story. This one is from South Carolina;
The Jasper County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a possible home invasion, in which a Hardeeville resident and suspect exchanged gunshots Sunday, a news release said.
Deputies arrived at a Deerfield Road home at about 4:30 p.m. to find the suspect lying on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds, the release said. The suspect was taken to Memorial University Medical Center in Savannah with non-life threatening injuries.
“Multiple gunshot wounds” and “non-life threatening injuries” means Mr Homeowner needs more range time or a larger caliber weapon.

Could be both, that he needs more range time AND a larger caliber weapon.
Any advantage in a fight.
Betcha it was birdshot. A dose of OO buck is very good for enforcing the “get the hell out of my house” TTP. Birdshot, not so much.
My shotgun is loaded with 12 gauge “buck and ball”. My pistol of choice is loaded with .45 JHP.
Needless to say, I’m old and cranky.
MAJMike I agree. I am too old to run and to old to put up with the crap I did when I was younger. It’s two center mass and if they even so much as wobble instead of falling…then it’s one to the melon. I too am cranky on this issue.
Exchanged gunfire. Homeowner won the gunfight.
Yes, I think a painful reminder that the individual who was found embedded with bullets is an appropriate way to remind him that he’s a failure as a burglar.
I hope the homeowner got at least one shot in the idiot’s backside.
I have found shot placement to be of much greater importance than caliber. Larger caliber never hurts, though.
read an interesting study (Buckeye Firearms site) suggesting that a) most pistol calibers require 2 rounds to make someone stop and b).22, .25, and .32 are not horribly less effective than even .45s, suggesting that most people give up not because of debilitating wounds but because they don’t want to get shot any more.
That being said – the percentage of one-shot stops went through the roof with either rifle or shotgun, supporting Jeff Cooper’s adage that a handgun is mainly useful to fight your way to a REAL weapon, a rifle.
Being jacked up on drugs never hurts either, if you’re being shot multiple times. Takes the sting out. Might die later, though.
