One for the "Just Damn" files.

Good shooting.

‘Smith and Wesson spoken here’
Fluently, apparently. :)

[SubMareener]

Investigators think Holbert was on some kind of drugs that allowed him to keep going despite being shot and tased.

Or a simple case of Demonic Possession!

I came in here assuming Darwin Award, but was disappointed.

> But it wasn’t quiet on Tuesday.

It was on Wednesday though.

[Pecos]

I’m bilingual - Smith & Wesson, and Glock.

[samtheman]

Good shooting.

Was it? He was able to walk out and confront law enforcement.

[Pecos]

Four shots and he was still walking..... I suggest a little more range time is appropriate.

"...A sign at the home reads, "Smith and Wesson spoken here." ..."

I got legal advice that said don't ever put signs like this up. It implies that you are eager to shoot someone. The DA could decide to prosecute you based on that.

It is different than putting up a sign saying you have a dog in the back yard that will bite.

Glad the couple was able to respond and defend themselves.

After being shot several times, investigators say Holbert stripped naked, walked out of the home and confronted four deputies.

“Taser was used multiple times" Lt. Schlosser said. "He did not respond to that but the deputies were able to subdue him.”

The debilitating after effects of being an illiterate burglar.

“It is different than putting up a sign saying you have a dog in the back yard that will bite.”

A while back, we had one of those signs even when we didn’t have a dog.

If a passer-by asked about the dog, I’d holler, “CUJO!”, and then wait a moment and say, “Oh, that’s right. Cujo is at the vet.”

[SkyDancer]

With that sign he figured he could steal some guns. My philosophy is never advertise you have guns.

[Vigilanteman]

Or hollow points. Or larger caliber.

But they do live in one of the best 2nd amendment states in the country, so the neighbors may take up a collection to fix their front door and buy them more bullets.

Probably roided up ...

Here signs like that make your house a target...for theft. I’d rather they be surprised anyway.

[TADSLOS]

Most probably, along with a few extras.

“With that sign he figured he could steal some guns.”

If he could read.
