Monday morning feel good stories
A homeowner in St. Louis County, Missouri got off easy when he confronted David Banks who had broke into his house with a gun and then got into an altercation. Banks wrested control of the weapon from it’s owner and then used the gun to threaten the homeowner’s wife. Banks didn’t harm anyone thankfully, but he ran off and he was picked up by police. But, damn, people, if someone breaks into your home and gets close enough for you to wrestle with them, shoot ’em, damn it!
In Mascotte, Florida, a couple of fellows broke into a home where they pistol whipped and shot the residents before they were able to call 9-11. The police arrived quickly enough to arrest one of the criminals. While they were involved in the cuffing and stuffing of that guy, a reporter on the scene found another of the fellows, Chacarion Avant, and pointed him out to police. Avant stood from his hiding place and pointed a rifle at the officers who had no problem making him DOT (he went to the hospital before he expired).
According to his cousin, Avant’s rifle jammed and the police shouldn’t have killed him. Have you criminals ever noticed how in the movies soldiers are always cleaning the weapons before the battle? There’s a reason for that. And, oh, by the way, Avant deserved to perish in a hail of gunfire for thinking he was in the movies.

One got plugged, one got away alive. What happened to “Shoot first and ask questions later” when it comes to dealing with a goblin that just broke into your house? Someone needs some serious range time!
One good “click” deserves another!
Back when I had a friend spend the night. Guest room was on the other side of the house with a sliding glass window leads out to the backyard. She crawls into my room “someone crawling in the bathroom window”. I took her and kids into the closet and put a mattress in front of the door. Walked to the bathroom door, yelled “I got a shotgun and you’ve got until I reach five before I start shooting” He did but I shot at three, got bird seed in both as cheeks.
When Deputies showed up and I told the story the call came in “SORE ASS” was at the local hospital. I had to identify him and the neighborhood punk yelled “you lied and shot at three”. Admits after given his MIRANDA RIGHTS. His parents were so pissed, they made their 16 year old loser son do chores for the 15 families in our neighborhood for a full year. They didn’t bail him out but after his hearings were over they said “live here you follow the rules we wrote up. Break one your out” He changed his life, joined the local law enforcement. At his graduation Sam gave me a bouquet of flowers with two shotgun shells. He now works for the Justice Department. The dried out flowers and shells are safe in a wooden box I bought in Nepal.
We were taught shoot first answer questions later..same difference in other parts of the country
I wonder if the cops weapons had jammed if the perp would have held his fire?? It’s a shame but some people just need killing.
Frankie’s right. Jonn is right. Have a noisy Distant Early Warning system (DEW) and at least shoot the clanker in the foot so he can’t run very far.
“According to his cousin, Avant’s rifle jammed and the police shouldn’t have killed him.”
It sounds like a healthy dose of bleach is needed in that family’s gene pool.
The DOT guy had a Facebook page. Pretty much what I’d expect from someone stupid enough to point a gun at a cop.
If anyone gets past my dogs, it is doubtful they will get close enough to grab my gun without having their DNA hitting the floor for later identification If they plan on doing the home invasion thing, my dogs would have alerted me well before they got to the door, if they could even find my remote, very secure location. (Hell, sooper sleuth Bernutless can’t find where I live.)
It is not a haphazard plan to have two very large dogs, and to have firearms in many location around the place, both indoors and out. To me, gun safes are for collectors, not users.
Frankie, I thought you lived over on Tallulah Island. Does this mean you’ve moved again?
For all anyone knows, he could be hanging out with me in Western Wyoming or Montana, something I will neither confirm or deny!
I think we might have missed this one a month ago.
Both the dead guy and the convicted felon shooter are “of color”. The dead guy’s mama is pissed off. I’m sure a cash payment would help her grieve.
Dead guys’s mama sayeth thus:
Subsequently, she demanded 2X Obamaphone minutes.
Did the mama even admit that her offspring was a thief and a criminal?
If that’s the LAW, follow it. Scruggs saved a mans life and offed the loser. No charges and a Certificate for Valor for a civilian..
I guess he never made it to court for her to find out…
I reckon two wrongs did make a right.
I’ve said it before. It’s simple combat tactics. Never let a threat get in close contact range unless you are out of ammo and nothing is left but your rifle butt, your bayonet and adrenaline. As long as I have ammo, my weapon will bark here and bite over there. And, there will only be one story told…mine.
Word Word
ANYONE trying to take any of my firearms from me will always get them BULLETS FIRST, ’nuff said!
A Proud Infidel, ‘NUFF SAID IN ONE SENTENCE LOL
This is the time to share an inexpensive security device with all the rest of you paranoids; direct from Paranoid HQ. Sold as a “driveway alert” at Harbor Freight is a handy item that might be of interest. Put it on a tree or rock within 400 ft of your home; the receiver stays next to your bed and alerts you if there is movement at what ever height you place it. Less than $15 each, look for different channels and/or remote transmission codes on different boxes. That way each location can have its own code. Preventing you from having to look up on a chart which unit is being activated. Battery operated and super good at doing its job, rather inexpensive. Add that to a couple of pissed off German Shepherds and there you have it. Your own Hollywood film lot to record the last minutes of wannabees. Exciting viewing to be enjoyed with Orville Redenbocker’s Theater Butter flavored offering. Better than anything Roger Miller ever sang about.
Wonderful additional to our security. Indie sleeps where he can see each bedroom door at night. He can sense if a person who knocks or rings the doorbell is friendly or the nervous type. Even telling him the word to stand down, he’ll keep barking until they leave or a couple of us jump the back fence and surround and surprise them, then they let Indie out. We all wait for responders come with zip ties keeping them down. Your suggestion is a great asset. Thanks
Thank you for sharing that I am going to go get that tomorrow.
My cat does alert me to space invaders. Very territorial fellow, he is. And of course, because of his size, he is quite intimidating. When he goes, it’s GDS time again, with schutzhund as our goal.
German Shepherds are great dogs, and Dobermans also do a great job of dealing with unwanted goblins!
I wanto train my chow chow to be a guard dog but I am afraid of how agrees I’ve he may become if I do because he is very calm at the moment
