Special Ed. stupid old man.
within his rights
very good deterrent to other wannabe criminals
And neither will their spawn...
Yeah, let the perp's grandfather have his house raided by three thugs with brass knuckles. Maybe, just maybe, there's a slight chance he can then come to realize his sociopathic indifference to the risk and harm to others.

“Fair fight” is for stupid people. Overwhelming force is the only way to go.
I agree a mini 14 would be fair
Play stupid games....
I am not arguing that. Just the identity politics Freepers who say every criminal is black.
Grandpa should be charged with gross stupidity, and sentenced to repairing the damage caused by all the gunfire.
A guy shouldn’t have to patch sheetrock, after the punks are hauled out.
I do its my nightstand gun
What is so ridiculous is we (as a society) have to re-learn stuff people knew 500 or 1,000 years ago. Maybe longer?
Was this an actual Burglary? First Lesson. Under English Common Law, “Burglary” had a precise definition.
Basically the forcible breaking and entering of a home *at night*, when the occupants are presumably asleep, and therefore almost certainly unable to defend themselves. You know, because, they are asleep.
Penalties for Burglary were higher. “Night” was also defined as that period from dusk to dawn, when a person’s facial features could not be recognized. In other words, too dark to tell who it is, describe, or ID the perp.
The 2nd lesson here, is a homeowner has absolutely no way of quickly determining the motives of burglars, nor is he able to inventory their weapons.
(Plenty of people have been murdered in their home with their own knives right out of the kitchen drawer, I’d wager.)
While the grandfather is understandably upset, he is using faulty reasoning here. And I say this as someone who, as a young teen youth, found himself once in a nearly identical situation, now that I look back. If someone would have shot us, they would have been justified. It was a stupid thing to do.
Never in a million years would the idea to creep around someone’s house while they are home (or not home) have come to me, but one idiot can convince another idiot to do just about anything, particularly teen boys.
Grandpa is right… it IS unfair.
Use an AK47 next time.
The three burglars are now maggot food. It is probably their best accomplishment.
I see the problem.
Stupidity runs in the family.
oh
The grandfather, Leroy Schumacher, of one of the teenagers, has a faulty ability to think logically. The weapon used by the homeowner is totally irrelevant. Perhaps it is his grief, but I suspect it was due to an impaired mind.
Quote from article: “Brass knuckles against an AR-15? C’mon. Who was afraid for their life?” Schumacher said.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
There was no need for them to be breaking into his house.
*If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.
