I have always thought that answering a door with a gun at hand was a reasonable precaution. In this recent case in Kentucky, the homeowner was able to reach his firearm, but it was a close thing.
It was a set-up home invasion. The decoy, Raven Edwards, above, contacted the homeowner, Bill Jolley, on social media and was invited over a bit after midnight. It is unknown if they knew each other previously; but the addresses are all in Harrison County, KY, and there is only one high school in the County.
A police report says she told investigators she contacted Jolley "with knowledge that a robbery was going to occur shortly after her arrival at the residence." The report says she was "the set up person to the robbery."When Raven went outside, the home invasion kicked off with her two confederates. All three entered the home, and her associates attacked the homeowner. From wtvq.com:
According to KSP, Edwards had asked Jolley on social media if she could come to his home.
A short time after she arrived, troopers said she went outside and returned with two other men, Marcus Gross and Larry Nolen.

Marcus Gross' father, Mark, spoke with WKYT Monday afternoon. He said his son had made mistakes in the past, but had begun to turn his life around after he got out of prison.The home invaders fled the scene. Marcus died. The third home invader, Larry Nolen, dropped Markus off at the hospital, then fled. He is said to have turned himself in several hours later.

Know each other? In that part of the world they probably all have the same DNA. ;)
Merry Christmas Dean.
Back in the 70s around Houston a woman would stop on the side of the road in a remote area and pretend she was having mechanical problems. If a single man stopped, her boyfriend would come out of the bushes and rob the guy. It happened a lot. I don’t know if they ever caught them.
Dumb ashes—all of them.
Merry Christmas to you!
KY and Invasion in the same sentence always gives me the willies.
How about the guy's name? Jolley? KY Jolley?
LOL
To the Parents of the Felon, he's been reformed.
She looks like a druggie to me.
For men, it is always a good rule of thumb that you should never meet a strange single woman in a private place or at an odd hour in a non-public setting. x1000 if she is underage.
It is extra obvious, because women are trained to not do this either, with strange men.
After midnight? Sorry, I’m working with a couple of friends (Smith & Wesson) tonight. So why don’t we meet at 2pm at the coffee shop at Main and Central?
“...had made mistakes in the past, but had begun to turn his life around...”
As predictable as the buzzards returning to Hinkley. Are all blacks taught to say that when their angelic children get I deep doo-doo?
Can’t one of them say “He was a no-good thug and we threw him out”?
Leaving a digital trail on the internet, was BEYOND stupid! That tells me they were planning on having no witnesses, and you know what that means for the home owner.
The only bad thing about this story is that he didn’t kill every dammed one of them. (I would have went after them)
Oh yeah....
The girl in the pic is ..... GUILTY!!!
Home invaders should be shot. Period. End of Story.
Jolley isn’t very intelligent. Good thing for him his assailants were even less so.
That’s the best picture for this “aw, tell me the father didn’t REALLY say this”: //His father, Mark Gross, is quoted as saying the Markus was on the path to reform. From wkyt.com:
Marcus Gross’ father, Mark, spoke with WKYT Monday afternoon. He said his son had made mistakes in the past, but had begun to turn his life around after he got out of prison.//
You don’t mean......... Cousin f’n tucky?
I have see parent apologise for their child in these sort of circumstances, but it is rare.
