Sunday morning feel good story
Our story this morning happened in California;
Investigators determined a burglar was in the process of taking things from the residence when the homeowner saw him and grabbed a weapon.
The homeowner fired one shot, wounding the suspect, according to authorities.
The suspect was taken to the hospital in critical but stable condition.
Unfortunate for Mr. Burglar that he chose to rob the only person in California who had a gun. What are the odds?

Apparently we finally have an armed homeowner that takes firearm ownership seriously…..range time was likely a part of this story.
Screw the burglar!
Too bad Mr Homeowner didn’t shoot once more and finish the job. Would have saved the taxpayers a lot of money.
Yeah, that homeowner needs some range time. Now they have another puke getting fed, clothed, and housed at taxpayers’ expense and they’re stuck with his medical bills.
Mr. Burglar did not run into the only homeowner in California with a firearm. The fact that Californians tend to not talk about weapons doesn’t mean we don’t have any, it just means we like to keep things interesting for Mr. Burglar and his pals. What fun is it to break into somebody’s house without the unknown risk of getting capped? Seems like the least a homeowner can do is provide a surprise introduction now and then to Mr. Glock as a matter of hospitality.
Entering an occupied dwelling can carry the death penalty. Why do they continue to risk their lives doing it? Just stupid I guess. But of course, stupid has its own rewards.
A shopper with a concealed weapons permit shot and killed a man who was trying to carjack a woman Saturday outside a Utah grocery store, officers said.
The 31-year-old male shooter was in Macey’s parking lot in Orem, 45 miles south of Salt Lake City, when he heard a woman’s screams as she was being pulled from her SUV by the suspect, investigators said.
The man told police he went to assist the woman, and the 27-year-old male suspect lunged at him in an attempt to grab his gun.
The man fired one round at the suspect, hitting him in the chest. The suspect later died at a hospital.
No other injuries were reported.
Police Capt. Ned Jackson said it appears the suspect was unarmed at the time, but several felony warrants had been issued for his arrest.
Jackson didn’t think the shooter would face charges but said the investigation is ongoing.
“He’s trying to assist this lady whose car is being stolen,” Jackson told KSL-TV. “He was fighting with her. He was trying to protect her. Then at the point the suspect comes to him, and he’s trying to take the gun from him, then he’s trying to protect himself.”
The names of the shooter and suspect were not immediately released.
The shooter had stopped at the store to buy food before going out for target shooting.
The suspect allegedly assaulted a woman earlier Saturday and drove to the Macey’s parking lot in a stolen pickup. Once there, he exited the truck and tried to carjack the woman at about 11:20 a.m., police said.
“That may be a reason he escalated a fight to the degree that it’s gone on today, and stealing cars to try to get away, because he has some felony warrants,” Jackson told KSL.
