Supposedly, they wanted money and jewelry. From the look of the house, there couldn’t have been more than a buck fifty. What’s worse is there are lots of children’s toys in the yard. The guy needs to move immediately what with all the family members of the dead congregating outside.
I tell myself I will resort to the 12 gauge in a situation like this, but I am a big fan of 7.62 in large quantities and the scatter gun only hold 6. AK is shorter and more maneuverable indoors that the pump gun. No disputing its effectiveness in dispatching nerdowells.
Thats why you have more than one high capacity magazine.....
I am sure all 5 of the perps thought the very same thing right before they shat themselves.
If you happen to find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.
Cool,
Thanks!
Cocaine was found, amount wasn’t mentioned in the story though
Aquila home-defense 12 gauge rounds and Kel-tec double magazine bullpup pump-action shotgun. Total loadout is around 24. The Aquila rounds are (as I recall) an inch and three quarters long. Shells come both as slugs and shot.
Link?
Well, not quite. I live in Houston, and have for over 2 decades.
I have been a GOA life member for 20+ years. Also, TSRA life member and member of a firearms training academy.
I would say that my pro-gun bona fides are in order.
Yes, it is a bit odd to have a fully loaded AK under the couch even here in TX. Often such situations involve drug trade or something gang related. We’ll find out soon enough.
Absolutely.
Was he expecting a high probability of a home invasion? If so, why? Could just be someone tired of crime, I admit.
Houston Chronicle, Monday
Thanks
Different house. Different story.
He must have seen that Chris Rock routine about making each Round of Ammunition cost $1,000.
Makes me get that warm fuzzy feeling...
post was to MileHigh on the drug bust story
“It is a bit unusual to have a loaded AK-47 under one’s couch, so I would expect police to be doing a pretty thorough investigation...”
Why would this unusual, especially in a
rough neighborhood?
It would depend on the family situation and the neighborhood.
