A home invader wielding a knife with a sheath inscribed "Hail Satan" was shot and wounded by a Taylor, Texas, homeowner on May 28.
Police responded to a call late that evening from a residence, with the caller informing dispatchers that a man with a knife was attempting to enter the house. Before officers arrived, the knife-armed suspect broke into the home and was shot by the homeowner. When officers arrived, the burglar had left the house and was found lying on the front porch, suffering from a gunshot wound to his hip.
The 23-year-old suspect has been charged with burglary of a habitation and is currently hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. (Taylor Press; Taylor, Texas; 5/28/24)
An unidentified man had just pried the padlock from a garage door at the Mechanicsburg, Ohio, home of John Williams when he was confronted by Mrs. Williams, who was accompanied by her German shepherd and a shotgun. The man hastily fled the scene. (The Urbana Citizen, Urbana, Ohio)
He could have been there for a Democrat strategy meeting... :0)
Texas is not the best place for doing home invasions. Better move to New York, California, Washington, etc where the govt loves criminals.
As was said years ago “When someone breaks into your home at 2 AM in the morning, rest assured they are not coming in to shake your hand.”
Maybe Satan is his favorite taxicab driver.
Kansas ain’t either.
In before ‘needs more range time’.
Needs more range time.
Glad my .357 doesn’t fire by itself like that. Look closely at the pic. The hammer is still cocked yet it’s belching out some epic flash.
Sorry. As an armorer, I get REALLY nitpicky when it comes to guns.
That’s because the 357’s recoil is so hard that it slams the hammer back. (Just kidding)
This is a textbook case as to why guns are needed. Imagine having to engage in a knife fight with an intruder. I’d rather have a distance tool.
Also, the more magazine capacity, the better, no matter what liberals say. If one spends any time watching self-defense or police videos (like those found at Active Self Protection), they would see that sometimes it takes multiple rounds to stop the threat.
It gets even worse when there are multiple assailants.
