Saturday morning feel good stories
Chief Tango sends us our feel good stories again this morning. The first is from Colorado;
An intruder has been shot and killed in a home invasion in Jefferson County.
The home invasion happened about 8:30 a.m. at a home in the 26300 block of Clear View Drive in Mount Vernon canyon.
It is not clear how the suspect, an adult male, got inside the home.
The second story comes from California;
The wife of the 53-year-old resident received a motion alert text on her cellphone from the couple’s home alarm system as he worked in his office at the home in the 4000 block of Via Dora Drive around 12:40 p.m., Antioch police Lt. Diane Aguinaga said. The man’s wife left the home just minutes before the text.
After the tip, the man armed himself with a gun and checked the house. Two people, a 21-year-old man and 19-year-old woman, were inside going through the home’s belongings, Aguinaga said.
The homeowner confronted the two and during the standoff shot at them several times, Aguinaga said. The man and woman fled during the shooting with some of the property and one of them later showed up at a hospital with several gunshot wounds, she said. It appears that person will survive, Aguinaga said.

“The man and woman fled during the shooting with some of the property and one of them later showed up at a hospital with several gunshot wounds, she said. It appears that person will survive, Aguinaga said.”
Not enough caliber if they were able to make it to the hospital alive. Of course, it also depends on where the hits were.
I thought you couldn’t have guns any more in California or Colorado.
Or is it ‘can’t have them any less’?
Is the ‘no guns allowed’ thingy crumbling in some states and nobody told me?
PH2- In Colorado, a legal resident of a property has the right to use deadly force to defend themselves, other occupants, and property from armed or unarmed intruders.
There is, however, restrictions on magazine capacity:
After July 1, 2013, magazines holding more than 15 rounds may not be sold, or transferred within the state. LCMs lawfully obtained prior to July 1, 2013 may be kept. Colorado’s LCM ban does not prohibit non-residents from bringing LCMs into the state for personal use.

One out two perps dead, ain’t bad.
And the world is a more peaceful place.. . . .beginning now.
