Ah yes, Summerfield. I remember it back when Gildersleeve was still water commissioner.

Bad luck for the two guys who got arrested.

They probably won’t get their voting rights back in time for the 2020 Florida election.

Glad the home owner was a solid shot. Saved the state two trials

Mighty bold statement on voting rights, given the clearly stated plans of the Demo-progs.

But this is not progress! Americans should not have all these dangerous guns. Instead, the homeowner should call the cops, and the cops should arrive and find the homeowner dead, with no guns in his hands. The cops should arrive and find the robbers alive and healthy and untouched, ready for 25 years in prison. Then my progressive taxes i voted for will have Americans pay for the robbers healthy long life in prison. This is why I’m a progressive. America must Progress past the outdated 18th century 2nd amendment.

You think the home owner would have been shot at at all if he didn’t have a gun in his hands?

Momma always told me never to judge a book by its cover, but the photos of those four emanate pure evil. Too bad two of them are still healthy. They will remain a danger to society once the’re released.

And democrats want us all disarmed so we can be at the mercy of these monsters.

Never forget that, and tell other voters this as well.

The mobile home where the shooting occurred is on a 20-acre lot with dense woods and a single-lane dirt driveway. The distance from a gate to home is roughly 300 yards.

"Mobility, recoil management and capacity are unacceptable with shotguns..."

Use 1 3/4" "home defense" shotshells in a Kel-Tec KSG dual-magazine bullpup. Twenty rounds or so of No.1 buckshot should take care of it.

> If you need more than 5 better learn how to shoot.

My Mossberg 500 12ga is 8 round with a 20” barrel.
Just in case...

Your understanding of overpenetration risk, vis a vis buckshot and .223, is exactly backwards. Much testing has been done, the results are clear.

“Recce rifle with ambi controls, white light, red dot and a dozen standard mags loaded with green tip...”

I’ll go with that except the green tips. Over-penetration in a residential environment is... not good. The shooter needs to be shooting up or shooting down at his attackers to avoid collateral victims. Good for shooting thru walls though so it would probably win the home invasion challenge.

My problem with the AR for home defense is pass through capability with the ammo. A shotgun and buckshot to me is safer for the innocent neighbors.

Like everything, it all depends. FMJ drywall penetration is always a concern, but personal defense ammunition is designed with this in mind. The majority of police cruisers in the US probably have an AR in the trunk and most are probably loaded with personal defense ammunition. The police are concerned with whatever might be on the other side of a wall, too. (When considering the purchase of a tool, I look to what the "experts" in the field choose.)

There are multiple tests of ammo versus drywall available online and on YouTube. Buckshot penetrates drywall very well.

“Detectives said he was wearing a “Jason” mask on top of his head, gloves on both hands, jeans and a black shirt. Near Jackson’s head was a semi-automatic pistol,“

That’s a pretty good way to get shot in my house, too.

“a dozen standard mags loaded with green tip...”

Get rid of that ****** ammo. Use some quality soft points in 62 grain or heavier, preferably over 70 grains if your rifle will stabilize it. The only thing green tip is good for is reusing the brass to put a proper self defense bullet in it.
