Seems to be a spate of home invasions these days ending with dead perps.

No charges have been filed against the homeowner.

We'll wait until the public attention is diverted elsewhere.

Why didn’t the burlgar just obey the city’s “Gun Free Zone” sign? That would have stopped him, especially if it’s in Arial Bold font.

One might argue (cynically) that the individual in question will still vote for Marxist Obama (with a little help from his Acornian friends).

My first shots will be one of 3 stationed 38 Smith and Wessons in the body followed by a 12 gauge with number 4s— 3 inch magnums( loaded now!!) to the head . If he is still flopping — two. Don’t break in to my house.

It’s definitely getting worse. I sat down with my dad tonight looking through a gun catalog (he’s a dealer). I finally settled on a Model 360. I figure my .32 is a little too light to carry around.

The homeowner did what he had to do. End of story.

Actually he will probably keep on voting with ACORN's help.
