Wednesday morning feel good stories

| April 20, 2016

An 80-year-old man in Fairmont, West Virginia answered his door to help a damsel in distress. Larry Shaver, and John Grossklaus, both 28 years old and from Fairmont forced their way into the home behind the girl, carrying a handgun and threatening the homeowner. The 80-year-old pulled out his own gun and engaged the pair three times. When the police arrived, they found Shaver lying in the street with a head and neck wound – he was DRT (dead right there). Grossklaus was found nearby and taken to the hospital for his torso wound. He’s in stable condition. It turns out that the gun the criminals had used was a realistic-looking BB gun.

In Lafayette Parish, Louisiana, Jace Breaux, 22, and Chaz Louviere, 23, and Jacob Collett, 33 broke into a home and woke the resident. When the trio opened fire on the resident, he returned fire striking one of the thieves. The police found them at the hospital later.

A passerby in Anchorage, Alaska fired his gun at a 19-year-old who was attempting to rob a gas station there. Both were gone before the police arrived, but they found the thief and arrested him, unharmed.

Kyle Johnson, passing through Erie, Pennsylvania, after kidnapping 23-year-old Brandi Shakir from her mother’s home in Cleveland, Ohio, tried another home invasion. He assaulted the wife and the husband, but while he was escaping the scene, a neighbor shot him in the leg and the back just as the police arrived, thus ending Johnson’s crime spree. He’s under arrest and recovering from his injuries.

I love these stories of citizens protecting Life, Limb, and property with legally owned weapons. I see also, that the dopes just haven’t learned that there are many of us who will not tolerate their attempts to deprive us of what is ours.

I do not understand what you mean by “legally-owned” weapons. Do you mean not stolen or obtained by a convicted felon?

I live in Texas and there is not a requirement for registration.

Don’t fook with an old man- he’ll just kill ya.

Quite a few years ago there was an old man who was the security guard at a bank here in Albuquerque. It seems to most people who used the bank that he was more of a greeter than a security guard. He greeted you when you came in and thanked you when you left. He handed out candies to your children and was everyone grandfather. He did have a gun on his hip, but no one paid attention to it.

Then two young punks, early 20’s, decided that they were going to rob this bank. They came in and threaten everyone in the bank with guns. The guard pleaded with them not to shoot anyone and tried to calm the people in the bank. The young punks laughed at him and told him to get on the floor with everyone else or they would shoot him in the head. He complied. They gathered up the money; no one was hurt and exited the bank.

What they did not realize is that the guard followed them out of the bank and then shot both of them in the back of their legs and asses. Then he stood over them and told them to stay down until the police arrive or that he would shoot them in their heads.

The next day the bank reopened and there he was sitting by the door again greeted everyone coming and going; passing out candy to the children once again being everyone’s grandfather.

Like AW1Ed said: “Don’t fook with an old man”

We need to sign that old timer up and give him a uniform.

I could always use a few more like him.

What happened to the damsel in distress? Hopefully she’s cooling her heels in the jug with a murder charge on her head, along with Grossklaus.

My thought exactly.

The man made it to 80 years old for a reason and those three knuckleheads just found out why. Two of them might learn something, but that’s a stretch.

I love happy endings!

Dear Mr Johnson,
Stop thinking with your “Johnson”.
Let me sing you a song.

The 80 year old used a realistic looking (cuz it wuz) modern caliber gun.

Beware of old men in a place where men die young.

Bringing a BB gun to a gunfight ranks right up there with bringing a knife to a gunfight on “teh stoopid” scale.

Then again, no one ever accused most criminals of being “the sharpest knife in the drawer”.
