One of the false narratives we hear over and over again from gun-control proponents on the left is that good guys with guns do not stop bad guys with guns, and we therefore need to ban “assault weapons.” I put that phrase in quotes because radical progressives don’t have a very specific definition of what constitutes such a class of firearm. That’s because the looser the parameters for what can be considered an assault weapon, the more guns they can fit into the category.
Good guys can’t stop bad guys with guns in every situation. This is especially true when laws exist that prevent them from carrying weapons that could potentially neutralize evil men and women carrying out acts of mass murder.
But guess what? Sometimes, in places where the morally upright and righteous have weapons at their disposal, they often do stop wicked people in their tracks. Such is the case for a homeowner in the state of Pennsylvania.
According to TheBlaze, Jeremy Cox was willing and ready to exercise his Second Amendment right to bear arms in defense of life, liberty, and property when an individual decided to break into his home, putting his whole family in danger.
And while Cox would have been totally justified in filling the intruder with lead salad, he exercised restraint instead, extending mercy and grace to the bad guy. Kind of flies in the face of the narrative that all proponents of the Second Amendment are trigger-happy domestic terrorists just itching for a reason to shed some blood, doesn’t it?
Last Wednesday, Cox and his girlfriend were chilling out, enjoying a quiet evening at home with a pizza and a flick, when they heard sounds coming from the basement. And that is when the proverbial number two hit the fan.

As they waited for police, Cox told WTAE-TV the intruder initially complied with his commands not to move. But he soon became aggressive, Cox said — and that’s when he fired a warning shot.Unfortunately, the warning shot “didn’t scare” the intruder, who continued to move toward the homeowner, Cox said. Cox then made the split-second decision to fire a second shot — this time grazing Harvey’s abdomen.
Cox chose to wound Harvey after noticing he was intoxicated. The alcohol-induced bad decision-making meant Harvey tried to get up after being shot, Cox alleged, which prompted Cox to threaten to shoot again. Cox recounted that he told Harvey “he wouldn’t be alive” after the third shot. But fortunately, that’s when police arrived.
Jeremy Cox talks way too much. I hope his loose mouth doesn’t get him into trouble.
Yep, shoot to stop the threat. KISS.
"I was in fear for my life." Nothing more to say.
Cox is lucky. He needs to reconsider his attitude.
He won’t be as lucky the next time he decides to fire a warning shot, but I’m sure he’ll get a nice funeral.
It happens to me and the intruder is dead. I’m armed at home. I would have emptied the clip and snapped in another.
I wouldn’t be shooting to wound.
It’s all or nothing
I’m wondering if all his talk is just covering for his being a lousy shot.
Don’t give me this “we’re all going thru hard times” BS. A drunk broke into your house where your girlfriend could’ve been raped and murdered you stupid head

Worthwhile very short vid.
Always nice to read about one less democrat on this planet.
Any thing one puts on the net is there for ever.
Yeah. “I’ll just graze him in the abdomen.”
Come on, man!
My wife says a home invader would get away in our home because I couldn’t decide on which gun to shoot em with....
In this situation it looks like the call was to "bless the deserving with the hot sauce" as John Correia from Active Self Protection says. The homeowner could have blasted this intruder with pepper spray.
Awesome!
😂😂
Nothing more ... nothing less.
The intruder in question can return and extract revenge for being shot
...and if its a REAL (and legal) justification.....add "sleep like a baby that night" to the end.
