When he went to check it out he found two men, identified as Zarraga and Rodriguez, removing parts from a vehicle he owned.
The man confronted the suspects at gunpoint and told them to show their hands. The suspects then reportedly rushed the man who shot them both.
Zarraga was treated at a hospital and has now been charged with aggravated robbery.
Rodriguez was airlifted to a Lubbock hospital where he is listed in critical condition.

Firearms are the great equalizer.
Just an old man, and two to one odds... Not!

How long until a local Soros-sponsored DA charges him with a racially-motivated hate crime?

Yes, civilization and all that’s right in the world thank him but the corrupt system in this country will probably persecute him for defending himself and his property.

Sure would be nice to reference the locale in such headlines.
Many have Howard Co, and some of us have the original!

It is in Texas. Probably should have added it to the headline, but it is in the keywords and topics.

This speaks to why the left is having a hard time with gun control. It is the great equalizer.
Just ask any feminist lesbian with a gun in her purse (or “man bag”)...

Yes, TX was, but I added Texas. Keywords aren’t easy to see, either...and only after the click! ;-)

Ah yes the “I won’t rock the boat because I want to be the richest man in the graveyard” syndrome. For me if given a chance I will do more than just rock the GD boat.
