Thursday morning feel good story
This morning’s feel good story comes from Texas where they need more time on the gun range and less time on the ball field;
Officers found a 42-year-old injured man at a home in the 7500 block of Trimble Drive. He was in critical condition with life-threatening injuries at John Peter Smith Hospital, officials said.
A 911 call at 3:43 a.m. Monday reported that gunshots had been fired in the back yard of the residence.
Initially, the resident told police that he had shot the intruder, Cpl. Tracey Knight, a police spokeswoman, said in an email Monday. “However at some point, the homeowner threw an object at the prowler and the object is what caused the injury,” she wrote.
If you throw better than you shoot, start doing that first.

What did he throw? An empty AvGas can? A mailbox door? A rusty ripcord handle?
A gun that was out of bullets?
Faker Giddick shovel throwing crouse. Either that or a hachet or some sort of hammer. Apologies about the misspellings,new pain meds kicking in. Joe

In the future, you might want to get your facts correct when you comment here.
The article you cite does not say what you claim. Rather, it says the man told his neighbor “he had an AK-47 and knew how to use it”. While that qualifies as communicating a threat, it is NOT the same as physically threatening someone with a firearm – which is what you imply in this comment.
In fact, you seem to have established a pattern of being somewhat incautious regarding the truth in your comments on the subject of firearms and their use. As I recall, this is at least the second time you’ve posted a claim when the link you cite to support it says something somewhat different.
You really don’t expect him to read past the headline, do you, Hondo?
