Sunday morning feel good stories
John Fleetwood Jr. heard an intruder break in through a glass door of his home in Santa Fe, New Mexico, so he went to investigate with his trusty .38 Special revolver. He encountered 30-year-old Yvon Juteau in the hallway armed with a crowbar and promptly shot him three times in the face. Juteau dropped the crowbar and exited the abode through the broken glass door, leaving a trail of blood that the police followed. There was a struggle and Juteau was subdued with a Taser. He has been involved with law enforcement since he was a juvenile, including incarcerations since 2010.
A homeowner in Visalia, California confronted an intruder in his backyard. There are few details, but the homeowner shot him once and the wounded man was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
A man and a woman were assaulted in their home on Wednesday last week. They were afraid that it would happen again, so they tossed throw-snap fireworks around their yard to warn of anyone approaching the house. Thursday night, the fireworks woke them and the husband met the intruders at the back door just as they kicked the door down announcing that they were the police. The homeowner, not believing them, hit them with pepper spray and they bolted. Police found them at the hospital being treated for the irritant. The police found a large knife at the scene of the spraying that was tied to the pair of thieves.

Just shoot em in the face. That should be ample warning and equal to what the miscreants deserve.
Have to disagree, FC.
A shot to the face when one is agitated can be difficult. Center mass is a much easier shot when under stress – and damn near as effective. Especially if it’s a double.
It would depend on the proficiency of the shooter, I am sure. Distance, light, are also factors, as is evaluating the situation. Practicing in various light situations, with head size targets moving in an irregular fashion is how I drill.
Where can I get throw-snap fireworks? Will it chase the squirrels away?
Depends if the weight of the squirrels will set off the snap crackers.
super glue them to peanuts. they will fire when bitten. squirrel pops.
Three rounds to the face and the perp left the scene. Two words…bigger caliber.
.38 is a fine caliber. I keep my bedside wheel-gun stoked with .38+p JHPs. Ever light off a .357 Mag in a darkened room? EVERY one is deaf and blind, and the drapes are on fire.
If the bullet don’t get em’, the fireball will blind both of you and it’ll be like getting hit with a brick in both ears.

No joke. When I was in the police academy back in the dark ages, our issue gun was a S&W Mod 19 in .357. During night shoots, the rest of the class would wait until one of us fired because it lit up their targets for them.
