Wednesday morning feel good stories
Several people sent us links to a story that happened in Eastpointe, Michigan where a 91-year-old man was approached by an erratically acting fellow. The victim warned him to stay back three or four times, that he was armed, but that didn’t seem to influence the fellow. The elderly man shot him in the neck. The criminal was transported to the hospital for his injuries.
A homeowner in Bowling Green, Missouri caught Michael E. Miller, 30, wheeling his lawnmower from the homeowner’s storage shed. When he confronted Miller, Miller responded by brandishing a stolen firearm. The homeowner fired a shot at Miller which struck Miller’s car and marked the vehicle for police when they arrested Miller and his two womenses later. No one was injured in the exchange of gunfire.
Near Fresno, California a homeowner assisted police in arresting 28-year-old Kou Lee while Lee was fleeing apprehension and was caught by the homeowner in his yard. The resident held Lee at gun point until police arrived.
Another homeowner in Sevierville, Tennessee caught a thief in his home and held him at gun point until the police could arrive and cart the youngster to the hoosegow.
In Coshocton County, Ohio, four thugs forced their way into a home. The resident responded with gunfire in which Richard Kafel was struck a few times. Police took him to the hospital where he was treated for his injuries and released to police custody. Two other were arrested and the fourth is being sought by police.

Five instances of good people with legal firearms doing good things. And there are idiots that would disarm the law abiding citizen, allowing the criminal element to have more security in their illegal activities.
Thank God criminals in California are such wimps. We know the homeowner in Fresno had to be brandishing an orange tipped water pistol since their lawmakers have deemed real guns too dangerous for the common, law abiding citizen…
I’m ticked off that we didn’t get any home runs today, more range time people, Center Mass!!
Do not leave your shed and other outbuildings, including the outhouse and the icehouse, unlocked. People will steal anything if they think they can pawn it or do a cash recycle some place. Not a joke.
I mean, my cat will grab the cookie bag and run off with it, if I don’t keep it locked up. Seriously, locks on everything, and keep your ammo dry.
Update:
http://www.macombdaily.com/20160823/no-charges-filed-against-elderly-cpl-holder-in-eastpointe-shooting
“No criminal charges will be filed against a 91-year-old concealed pistol license holder who shot a suspected robber outside of a pharmacy in Eastpointe, according to police and prosecutors.
Instead, the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office authorized an arrest warrant charging the man who was shot, Richard Ashford, with assault with a dangerous weapon, Prosecutor Eric Smith said in a news release.”
Don’t mess with the elderly.
They believe that they are too old to take an ass beating, but still too young to die and will shoot you if they think that you will do harm to them.
