Stupid people continue to play stupid games and in this case, win stupid endings. I will say that the Dad must have been pretty accurate as he defended both (and his Mom elsewhere in the house):
A pair of masked men broke into a Tennessee home last week, tased the family dog, and held the homeowner’s teenage son at gunpoint, New Window WSMV-TV reported. But the homeowner armed himself, opened fire, wounded one of the intruders, and killed the other, the station said.
To quote an old song, “Now THAT’S the way (uh-hu, uh-hu) I LIKE it…!”
Decisions have consequences, and two were made one after the other:
- Two guys decided that they were entitled to other peoples’ stuff OR were just plain evil and wanted to hurt someone. Or both.
- Dad made the decision to exercise his Second Amendment Right to own and bear arms by purchasing a semi-automatic weapon (a Glock, so it seems) and became proficient in using it under extreme duress.
Murfreesboro police told WSMV they responded around 8:30 p.m. Friday to a home in the 100 block of January Street. A preliminary investigation indicated two masked intruders broke into the home through the front door, tased the family’s dog, and held the homeowner’s teenage son at gunpoint, the station added.
“I heard my dog make like a noise like something was hurting, and I heard taser,” the homeowner, who wishes to remain anonymous, New Window told WTVF-TV.
He added to WTVF, “Then I heard my son holler out ‘Don’t shoot!’ so I knew something wasn’t right then, so I retrieved my gun, and came out of my room, and that’s when I seen the intruder had the gun pointed at my son.”
And then instinct (and I would imagine practice):
With that, the homeowner shot the two intruders, WSMV said. Police found one masked man with multiple gunshot wounds near the home’s front door, WTVF said, adding that 52-year-old Kevin Ford was pronounced dead at the scene. Another intruder — 42-year-old Clifford Wright — was found at the Salvation Army on Main Street suffering from several gunshot wounds, police told WSMV, adding that Wright was treated at a hospital and taken to jail.
Several gunshot wounds X 2 – good shootin’ pardner! That’s at least 3 or 4 per perp. That would be a high percentage with a 10-round mag. Still a good aim, even with a 15-round mag. It was clear with the exit bullet holes through the house wall means he did miss.
This goes to show that the gun-grabbers and their incessant insistence on passing meddling laws to restrict magazine capacity might have gotten all of them killed (running out of ammo at a time when most needed – the story didn’t say if he was carrying an extra mag).
As I was reading this story at The Blaze, I kept thinking, “He’s alright, his Mom’s alright, and so is his son. But what about his tasered dog (the Dad’s “early warning system)?” Fortunately, the news report had an update:
