I guess he forgot what he learned in his gun training classes.
Oh come on, now. He was just following Joe Biden’s instructions.
If you can’t trust the vice-president of the United States to give good advice, who CAN you trust?

He’s lucky it wasn’t his wife, looking for something she left in the purse. There was a guy in Washington state and his gift shop had been broken into numerous times, so he took to sleeping there, shotgun at his side.
Some kid broke the window, opened the door and while grabbing some stuff heard the owner. The kid got on his bike with $40 worth of stuff in his pocket and rode off.
From 100+ feet the shop owner killed him as the owner finally got to the front door.
Found not guilty. Of course the place was locked up, and he had not bragged ahead of time about “baiting” the crook. Similar happened where a guy in Spokane left his truck unlocked and running while warming it up and a guy tried to steal it. I think the prosecutor even tried to set him up as “baiting” - but pretty easy to convince folks in Spokane that warming up the truck while you’re getting organized to leave to the next plumbing job is not an unreasonable thing to do.
And one of the primary things about having a gun on you all the time, is that you learn NOT to put yourself into situations where you might need it. Such as leaving doors open at night with no lights, etc.
