Don't mess with Texas - homeowner 1, burglar 0

From FOX News:
Texas Man Kills Home Intruder With His Own Gun
When two gunmen smashed through the glass front door of her suburban Fort Worth home, Kellie Hoehn didn't think twice.

The 34-year-old mother of two grabbed a shotgun that had been pointed at her face early Wednesday, starting a struggle that ended with one intruder killed with his own weapon and another in the hospital.

"I wasn't going to let them get to my babies," she said, recalling the moment when she pushed up the muzzle of the shotgun, pointing it away from her children's rooms.
I love Heinlein's comment: An armed society is a polite society. Had the household been armed, there would not have been the scuffle -- it would just have been the removal of two goblins from the gene pool. Posted by DaveH at September 5, 2008 7:47 PM | TrackBack
