A man who said he was having trouble with his car convinced Kenneth Byrd, age 67, to open his door. His wife and 19 year old granddaughter were at home at the time.

That was all the opportunity the three man home invasion crew needed. The trio burst into the home, guns drawn and threatened the residents.

According to local media reports, what happened next was nothing short of terrifying:

The Byrds were pushed to the back of their home and instructed to open a safe.

When the men tried to rape the couple’s granddaughter, Byrd grabbed a gun and exchanged shots with the assailants, [Sheriff Kenneth Sealey] said.

The men fled in Byrd’s car.

Well, they NEVER should have opened the door in the first place.

Sorry, but if a stranger is at the door DO NOT OPEN IT! Even if the stranger is on fire, do not open the door, but do tell the human patio tiki that you will call the fire department for them.

Yes, America has got to that point. Unfortunately. But, if one is looking to lay the blame, all one needs to do is look over at the Democrats.

Please people, don’t open the doors to men who look like these guys. I don’t think anyone of them could clean up even 1/2 good.

I’m very suprised they got in without using some gal as a shill.

The gals they know probably look scarier than they do.

On what planet and in what dimension must one live to voluntarily let one of these creatures into your home?

According to Bloomberg or one of those anti gun groups, they shold have given them want they wanted if saying “please stop” didn’t work.

Now let us have some anti-gun leftist explain to us why this man should have allowed himself to be robbed, beaten, possibly killed and his grand daughter raped and possibly killed? Why should Americans just be forced to allow that kind of thing?

Obviously they cannot explain this.

I’ll give contestant #3 credit for at least knowing how to keep his pants up.

The man is nothing short of a hero. Took rounds and still connected 3 out of 3. I won’t second guess his actions in any way. Prayers up.

If he needs a hand with the other two, I’m available.

One already got his justice. It’s too bad that the other two didn’t as well. I guess one out of three ain’t bad since the other two were at least wounded.

I don't know where the victims lived, but it's amazing how in many parts of this country, people still open their doors to strangers. Growing up, my family had no qualms about letting strangers into our home. We used to go out and not only leave the front door unlocked, but wide open.

Can't do that now. I've told family and friends if they want to just drop in, don't because I won't open the door for them. Call me first. Unless I'm expecting someone, my doors are closed, locked, deadbolted and chained. You aren't coming in.
