Sunday morning feel good stories
A homeowner in LaGrange, Georgia was awakened by the sounds of someone trying to force his way into the house. He confronted the fellow with a rifle and ordered him to leave the home. When the intruder wouldn’t leave, he fired a warning shot that only frightened the man who hid in the bathroom until police talked him out. Police claim that the intruder smelled strongly of alcohol and became belligerent with them as they cuffed and stuffed him. The intruder may have been simply an inebriated sot who had the wrong address and an angel on his shoulder.
In Dover, Delaware, 24-year-old Caleb Mason broke into a home where the resident happened to own a firearm and stopped him with a couple of rounds to his right hip. He was treated at the hospital and then arrested for burglary. He’ll probably remember this mistake every time it gets a little chilly in his cell.
At a League City, Texas MacDonald’s drive through, a thief tried to rob a man and his child with a gun. There was an altercation during which, the driver shot the criminal, center mass. The crook was determined to be DOT (dead over there) at the hospital. Police say the driver was licensed to carry his firearm concealed.

Drive thru windows, like ATMs are a choke point for an unaware victim. Before getting my money out for either, I have my firearm in my lap, and a plan to protect myself, either with the firearm or by just leaving the scene. Too many people allow themselves to be set up by income redistribution agents.

Not a bad “day at the plate” for armed citizens: 3 for 3 with 1 HR, one other extra-base hit, and a single (crime prevented, suspect in custody).
Normally I’d say that an armed citizen should have place any warning shot center-mass. But in the first case, perhaps the guy realized the intruder was simply drunk and stupid and the other guy just didn’t want to kill him for simply being drunk and stupid. If so, I can maybe give him a pass.
‘inebriated sot’ – Man, you are getting too colorful for words, JL. And the sot hid in the bathroom, probably under the sink or behind the shower curtain. What IS the world coming to?
Someone in Dover is paying attention in class. “Hips and head, boys and girls. Hips and head.”
