Why didn't he just shoot the kneecaps? Not that I like shooting folks, but people need to be able to defend themselves, and the perps risked getting blown away by breaking into someone's house.Killing someone is hard to live with, no matter how "right" someone is to do it.

Eh, dude had a weapon himself. Shoot him in the legs, and he can still shoot you -- or a family member. It becomes a lot less likely, but it's still a possibility. In any case, I don't begrudge anyone the defense of their lives, their property or the lives of their family, particularly against armed intruders. Printer Friendly | Permalink | Reply | Top

And not just a gun -- an assault rifle! Yikes!At one point I was considering buying a gun and I took a police training course for civilians. I just wanted to learn how to shoot a gun out of someone's hand or, like you said, in the leg, and stop him/her from coming at me.We were told that you can't rely on that. While you're taking aim (which is iffy at best) they could be blowing your head off.I ended up NOT getting a gun, but found the training interesting and informative.

This is gonna happen more and more as the economy tanks and the cops are unable to prevent it. Good for that guy. Unlike the asswipe in Texas who went outside after the cops told him not to and shot the 2 creeps who robbed his neighbors house. Printer Friendly | Permalink | Reply | Top

Get back to us when you try to defend yourself / your property / your loved one's by spewing tidbits of trivia at your assailant. Idiot.
