"Get off my lawn!"

ATLANTA -- A well-armed couple opened fire with an assault rifle and pistol early Friday morning on some car thieves in southwest Atlanta.
The couple at a home in the 1900 block of Childress Drive told police that after somebody tried to steal their car last week, they rigged up a homemade alarm in their carport using string and cans.

I like to tell the liberals that use the “wild west” reference that law abiding citizens openly carried becuase, iniitally, it was the criminal-element who used guns to rob them.
Drives them (even more) bat-schmidt crazy.
I love their high-tech security alarm. We used a string with a cowbell.
The Police could probably find the perps by following the trails of urine they left behind them.
Agreed. Shoot, but be damn sure you hit what you are aiming at and not dinging your neighbors in the process.
If they aren’t gang members, then Obama’s government will have those weapons confiscated.
They scared them off faster than a mountain lion after he smells a good phart. A good phart is tear gas to mountain lions. Runny nose, watery eyes and tongue hanging out while running away fast.
"Get off my lawn!"
Sounds like they shot their car up so badly that it can’t run. Hence the reason why the perps ran away instead of driving away. I guess that’ll teach those perps to try and steal your car, shoot your car up!!!
Is this covered by insurance??? Inquiring minds want to know.
“When police arrived they found shell casings littering the driveway and front yard, and the couple’s car riddled with bullet holes.
There was no blood at the scene so police don’t think any of the thieves were hit.”
Kind of a pyrrhic victory there.
I think PJ O’Rourke once said that no one is very accurate with automatic weapons.
"Assault weapon" and "assault rifle" are leftist propaganda terms intended to convey the danger of attack.
An assault weapon, properly defined is a short barreled rifle capable of selective fire. I strongly suspect that that the weapon used in this case was just a semi-automatic carbine.
We should use the term "semi-automatic carbine" in all communications with politicians and the press unless we are talking about selective fire weapons or "semi-automatic rifles" like the M1A or FAL, which the leftists often mistakenly call "assault weapons" as well.
I know, I just thought it would be funny to use that quote. Believe me, I’ve seen Heartbreak Ridge about 20 times.
Funny but looking at the bullet holes I had to ask myself "how'd they miss?"
I think you nailed it.
Sure. I was just mimicking the liberal gun grabbers.
Here’s what really happened; the boozed up couple had been drinking all evening and had run out of liquor so the guy jumps in the car and starts out of the driveway only to realize he was out of gas. When he stumbles out the car, he snags the trashcan lid with his shirttail and lurches into the clothesline.
His old lady, grabs the AK-47 they kept beside the fireplace because they spent their poker money on malt liquor and schnapps, staggered out the front door and let fly with about two magazines into the trunk of their soon-to-be-repossessed car.
The husband, having finally freed himself from the backyard tangle, fell to one knee and scraped it.
In a fit of anger, he emptied the pistol at the ground as the bullets bounced back up and left streaks of grazed paint down what was left of the sorry-old sedan.
Hearing the sirens, they threw some empty cans out of the trash container and cooked up the tale that the news just swallowed whole.
That’s my take.
You've left out all the important parts!
Here’s what really happened; the boozed up couple of inbred hillbillies had been drinking cheap moonshine all evening and had run out of liquor from their still, so the poor downtrodden ACORN member tying to reclaim his reparations guy jumps in the car belinging to the two inbred drunk gon-toting inbred hillbilly members of the Klu Klux Klan/NRA and starts out of the driveway only to realize he was out of gas that these two honky-tonk guzzler bigots deprived him of. When he stumbles out the car, he snags the trashcan lid with his shirttail and lurches into the clothesline, that these two bible thumping rednecks deliberately put in his way to deprive him of his rights. He is considering a class action lawsuit sponsored by the NCAA and ACLU.
There. Fixed it.
Well now, that there’s a right-full clothesline.
NCAA??? You mean NAACP, right?
Ooops. yes.
