Wesley Chapel homeowner fires on three intruders, killing two of them (Florida)
Tampa Bay ^ | 7/10/20 | Chris Tisch

WESLEY CHAPEL - Two armed intruders were shot dead and a third was wounded when a homeowner fired on them early Friday, according to the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office.

The homeowner said he was inside his home playing video games when at about 12:43 a.m. he heard the glass of his laundry room door shatter, according to a sheriff’s report. He saw an arm reach inside to unlock the door. Then the homeowner said he saw a masked man walk in and aim a gun at him.

The homeowner said he grabbed his Glock 9mm pistol, which was just a few feet away, and fired several times at the intruder. He saw the intruder fall down, the report said.

Then a second masked intruder entered the house, and the homeowner said he fired at him, too. That intruder also collapsed.

The masked men were aiming their weapons at the homeowner when they were shot, said Pasco Sheriff Chris Nocco.

The homeowner said he then saw a third intruder enter, the report said. The homeowner started firing again, but said his Glock jammed. Then he said he grabbed a Kriss Vector 10mm semi-automatic rifle, but didn’t fire it. The third intruder had run away.

I like this one better, in 45 ACP, for $700:

Accepts 25-round Glock mags.

Found that odd.

Out of spec or damaged cartridge, bad mag or not seated...I guess it could happen.

Fortunately, he had sufficient back up.

I would probably waste time trying to decide which back up was worthy of the occasion.

Hard to beat the AK with a red dot.

That portion of Pasco is undergoing a renovation. There are very “high-end” shops along 54/56 all the way from Little Rd to I-75. There are also new housing developments on the south side just east of the hospital.

Our winter home is just north of there.

Kriss Vector gun looks like something out of Star Wars:

Han shot first.

Here is 9mm semi-automatic pistol/carbine people can make for themselves.

About $600 in initial tooling and materials.

About $100 in materials for each copy after that.

About a 10 days of work, most of which is having a 3D printer print parts.

Making the barrel with electro-chemical machining takes about a day for the first barrel, perhaps two hours each after that.

It uses Glock magazines or 3D printed copies of Glock magazines.

Pasco has its ups and downs. But the Wesley Chapel area of the county is undergoing a massive influx of development. We’ve been going to the Hudson area for over 40 years and the area from Brooksville to New Port Richey has exploded with development.

Even the east/west roads from 50 south to 56 and from 19 to I-75 have seen significant commercial development. It’s no longer the sleepy “old Florida” it once was.
