It was a scene right out of a Wild West movie where the hombres on horseback ride into a Texas border town in the dead of night and gallop down Main Street, firing indiscriminately.
However this was no movie and the horses these thugs were driving was a Nissan Altima and that fabled Main Street was Glenburnie Drive, in North Houston, Texas.

The "SHOOTOUT" began late last Friday night as a Texas homeowner was sitting quietly on his front porch, enjoying the evening when out of the darkness a late-model Nissan Altima appeared roaring down the quiet street towards him, and within a matter of seconds the would-be assailants open fired on the homeowner, spraying the area with over 40-rounds within a matter of seconds.
Miraculously the homeowner escaped uninjured; however what followed next would put Clint Eastwood to shame, within a matter of seconds after that awesome display of firepower, the homeowner reached for his own weapon that he apparently had at the ready and began immediately returning fire at the speeding auto, which swerved and hit a parked car.
Wounded the three thugs exited the vehicle and continued the pitched firefight on foot. The homeowner who is an avid marksman continued returning fire hitting all three, stopping them before they could reach his property.
One of the men was immediately killed at the scene, while the others were rushed to the hospital. A second shooter was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital, while the third is in critical condition battling for his life.
According to news reporters, aside from being an excellent marksman the Texas homeowner is licensed to carry a concealed weapon, and goes to the shooting range regularly and practices his skills with his AR-15, the weapon he usually has by his side when sitting on his porch late at night.
Police are investigating the shooting; however, it's an obvious case of self-defense and another example of why our Second Amendment was created.
Reasonable people could assume they were fleeing to come back again. These are people that were dangerous enough to open up on you and your house. Fleeing is not fleeing if they are still firing. Also that is a huge assumption. I would assume retreaing to regroup. Further he didn’t chase after them. So he was not actively pursuing.
This can’t be right.
Everyone knows that you can’t kill a person with a .223
I might share your opinion but our opinion is worthless in court.
I assume that you have heard of Nyfong. He was/is not the only DA who puts his conviction record above justice for all.
And that's why we need range time, even if we're great shots. I'll bet he hasn't missed a much smaller than man-sized target in years, but stuff happens when people are shooting back, even if they are lousy shots. [Note: I am not in any way criticizing him.] He did great with two immediate wins and a TKO, and that is why I shoot daily too. I've cut down to 150-200 rounds a day, mostly .22LR, but I still shoot a lot because I want even my shooting under stress to be as good as his.
Also, I love the fact that he was sitting on his porch with his AR. In the People's Republic of Maryland, I would not have mine available from the porch in any reasonable amount of time.
Another Nuffins tribe fail.
Dindu, Dunno and DonGot had a bad day.
