Thursday morning feel good stories
In Auburn, New Hampshire, a homeowner fired shots at an intruder that he found in his basement. The gunfire didn’t hit the thief, but it sent him on his way at a high rate of speed.
Kenneth Wayne Shepherd tried to break into a home in Houston, Texas, but a homeowner interrupted his plans with two rounds from his handgun. Shepherd was struck in an arm and a leg and he crawled under the homeowner’s truck to wait for the police. He’s expected to survive his injuries.
A man armed with a broken bottle in Los Angeles, California was shot when he threatened a security guard. The criminal was DRT (dead right there).
A convenience store clerk in Knoxville, Tennessee, was confronted by a man who tried to convince the clerk that he was armed. The clerk then fired his own gun at the man. The thief wasn’t injured but he did un-ass the AO.
Top Kone sends us a story from Corbin, Kentucky where a woman was shot five times by Michael Johnson after he backed her into a corner while she was defending her family from him. Despite the five bullet wounds, the woman picked up a metal baseball bat and continued the fight until police arrived. She’s expected to recover from her injuries.

But will Shepherd be able to play the guitar again?
I bet he has some Blue on Black bruising near the wound sites.
Hmmm…let’s check it out!
Never bring a broken bottle to a gun fight…..
Firing wildly might frighten a person with bad intentions, but it could get you killed. Just as a baseball bat might fight off a gun wielding thug, but it too, might get you killed. Practicing regularly by shooting for accuracy, wearing your firearm wherever it is legal to wear it, will get you comfortable with having it within reach. Studying various scenarios and practicing “situational awareness” will do much to save you and yours from harm.
Kudos to the lady who took five bullets but still had enough chutzpah to use a baseball bat on the perp.
Mama Bear Syndrome: “… while she was defending her family from him.”
Nothing short of death will make a mother stop defending her children. I hope she makes a full recovery.
Yeah, I was thinking of that Kipling quote that John Ringo used as a chapter heading in one of his Posleen books (Chap. 12, Hell’s Faire?) that goes something like this: “When the Himalayan peasant meets the he-bear on the path, he shouts [and the bear runs away]. But when the she-bear he meets with her cubs…she will rend him limb from limb, for the female of the species is more deadly than the male.”
(Glad the guy was a bad shot.)
Kipling ought to be mandatory reading in all public schools.
It used to be. . .
Yup, she is one tough mother….
(sorry)
Was her name by chance “Harley Quinn”?
I’d bet Harley Quinn dreams of being like her.
(Good pun, OC. Have to steal it.)
Gun: 0
Baseball Bat: 1
Range time, people!
Gee, dude was growing the hippie lettuce in his house and wondered why people broke in.
Nice going, dickhead.
Is it okay to root against both the parties in this case?
Yep. Sounds like the proverbial “happy ending” to me!
Here is another from California – only reason I know about this is I am visiting the cutest grandson ever in Lincoln.
