A 74-year-old man living in Akron, Ohio, told police he shot a teenager multiple times after he broke into his home last week.

The homeowner, who asked to be identified by his nickname of "Lurch," told FOX 8 Cleveland the home invasion happened around 7:30 in the morning March 29. He said he opened fire when the teen came crashing through his front glass door.

The hurt teen rolled down the steps to the basement, where he allegedly grabbed a shovel.

"I shot him again," Lurch said. He then kept an eye on the intruder until police arrived. "As far as I know, I hit him three times." The suspect is reportedly 16 years old.

He’s 74. He can tie up any legal action until it doesn’t matter anyway.

Uh, several of my relatives lived to ages 96, 98 and 99. That's 22, 24 and 25 years respectively, of additional life, which you don't want to shorten by living in prison.

I highly recommend watching Paul Harrell's video Personal Protection: Shooting While In Bed. It's insightful and hysterical at the same time.

It was very helpful and yes, funny! Here's a good ad that interrupted the video. Check out the concealed holster demo video at the link below:

I loved his comment at the end;

"You want to make sure that who ever your are sleeping with is not between you and your entry point.

I also want to make the point that, if your're sleeping with a handgun like this there's a good change you are sleeping by yourself."

Don’t tell me...before he pulled the trigger, Lurch cried out, “You rang?”

That holster is on my list once I’ve lost a few more pounds and settle in for my pant size for the next 20 years.

“Who doesn’t?”

No one doesn’t. Good advice, man!

Best to you.
