Wednesday morning feel good story
Chief Tango sends us our feel good story this morning this time near Bismark, North Dakota, where two men forced their way into Jeff Gegelman’s home;
Gegelman was home alone around 3:30 p.m., when the three men drove a small car into his yard, came up to the house and knocked loudly at the door.
He didn’t like the looks of them, so he remained quiet in the house while they got back into the car. They made a U-turn in the yard, and two got back out and came up to the door.
In the meantime, he armed himself with a .22 handgun. When the two knocked, pushed opened the door and called out, Gegelman stepped into the room, pointed a gun and said, “You came to the wrong house today.”
He said one of the men immediately started shooting and he returned fire, shooting the gunman in the back as he took off from the house.
“I was watching the one who was shooting, watching his gun, the smoke and fire. I’m too damned old to be shooting at people,” Gegelman said Monday. He said he estimated the shooter’s age at about 20.
After the shooting, Gegelman followed the car out of his yard and was able to get a license plate number. He drove to Beulah, where he was able to contact police and get medical help.
The wounded thug was on his way to the same hospital when police stopped and arrested him. The other two are still on the loose. The lesson here is to shoot first and shoot fast. But, I’m glad Mr. Gegelman will be fine.

The yoots had fair warning. Too bad they were too dumb to take a hint.
Analysis: good shooting, but not enough caliber. More range time needed to get used to a larger caliber pistol, 9mm minimum.
Gegelman was hit in the chest…damn lucky dude.
Apparently he’s going to upgrade from his .22: “Gegelman said he plans to get himself a bigger gun and more bullets.”
Devtun you got it there. Gegelman has the right idea now. Bigger caliber, always. A .22 okay but only for a solid head shot.
You would think that Independent Wealth Redistribution Agents would get it in their heads to ply their trade in a friendlier area like Illinois or California.
Then again, if they were smart enough to think of that, they wouldn’t be criminals in the first place.
