A Los Angeles homeowner exchanged gunfire with a pair of would-be robbers in a terrifying incident that was captured on home surveillance video Saturday evening.

The homeowner, who did not want his identity released, had just pulled into his gated driveway and was walking to the front door when the masked robbers jumped over a wall.

Video shows one robber charging at the man with a gun as he goes to open his front door.

The homeowner immediately drops his keys and a beverage, pulls out a concealed handgun and opens fire on the intruders, who run away while returning fire.

The home is located in Central L.A. in a neighborhood where homeowners say there has been an increasing number of daytime burglaries …

Sounds almost like he had an ankle holster. Not really but glad he stopped the worthless criminal.

Bittersweet. Thankful the homeowner is safe. But sad the perps are still alive, endangering innocent citizens, breathing our air and using our natural resources. So many don’t deserve that today.

Maybe next time.

Arrested soon I’d say. At the very least he’ll lose everything defending himself.

“How long before the inept, corrupt, and very Democrat DA arrests the homeowner?”

It starts with the rank and file police - how diverse are they? Will they give you the benefit of the doubt, or might they sway their write-up. Then the DA, then the Judges, then the Juries - are they your peers, or are they peers of the UN?

Bottom line - literally EVERY FReeper here (except, maybe, for some NeverTrumpers) needs to be living in a jurisdiction* that is at least 60% red, ideally 70% plus red. I did such, left my home that I lived in for decades, to get into a community where I wouldn’t have to worry about being on the receiving end of ‘social justice’. No regrets so far, but it can cost a bit more.

*primarily county/city, but state also, if at all possible.

The home is located in Central L.A.

They knew what they were getting when they moved there.

Not so new. The bad guys like to attack in transition zones.

Entering your home, exiting your car, leaving a ATM etc.

Your distracted and can be taken by surprise.
