TX: AK-47 clone used to defend Home and Family
Gun Watch ^ | 11 August, 2015 | Dean Weingarten

The 3300 block of Cheaney Dr only has 7 homes on it.

On 16 July of this year, at about 4 a.m., a man used an sport utility rifle to defend his family against a criminal crew.  The rifle was an AK-47 type of unknown model and manufacture.  The homeowner and family man who protected his castle remains unidentified. From khou.com:

"They tried to break into my son's window. They managed to get one lock undone, so I come out the house," he said, asking that his identity be kept secret.

He said his son, wife and newborn were inside the home with him. When he came outside, he saw two men in a white Chevy Impala. He said one of them tried to shoot him so he fired his AK-47 at their car.

The gunshots sent two other men running from behind the home, the man said, and he shot at one of them.
The gunfight was of short duration, but with four members of the crew arrayed against him, I suspect that the homeowner and father was glad  to have the fireapower, reliability, and intimidation factor of the famed AK-47 platform in his hands.

The disarmists claim that these semi-automatic rifles are never used in self defense.

Of course, they are wrong. I expect this kind of thing to increase as the race baiters and agitators whip up the victim and grievance classes.

At first I read the headline as "AK-47 drone".

This story is cool, but that would have been a really cool story!

An AK47 is a good way to thug proof a home.

One of my sons works at a gun store, one of the largest on line stores in the country, he is in charge if IT, any way he suggested I purchase an AK 47 clone pistol and a couple 30 round magazines. It is really cool to shoot. I hope I never have to use it for protection in my house because cleaning up the mess after using it will take a very long time.
