A Pasco County, Florida man who believes he was targeted after posting pictures of his gun collection online shot three men who broke into his home early Friday morning, killing two and injuring a third. Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco told reporters Friday afternoon that the victim was awake and alone in his home playing video games when he heard the sound of glass breaking coming from the rear of the home.

Grabbing his firearm, the homeowner went to check out the noise. As he was walking down a narrow hallway towards the rear of the home, he spotted an intruder armed with a gun of his own.

“seems to me he was just baiting home invaders to invade so he could bag a few of ‘em ... stupid as hell in my opinion to post pics of one’s gun collection, coin collection, gold bars, jewels, etc. ...”

Risky, for sure, but if more people did the same, we could likely compensate for our dysfunctional justice system.

At the same time, though, he’s gotten more fame than any gun collection ever could have gained him. Anybody with money can buy a gun. How many people can claim to have come face to face with Death, laughed in his face and, in so doing, removed two goblins from the gene pool?

Another story said the first gun that jammed was a Glock 9mm. Kind of surprising since they seem pretty reliable. Wonder if he made a bad ammo choice or didn’t have the right grip on it since he had to react fast.

Never had a Glock jam. He either ran out or limp wristed it. Even then I'd be surprised (limp wrist)

What is the main reason handguns jam?
Lack of maintenance/lubrication?
Bad ammo?
Firing too fast?
