The county seat of Butts County, is Jackson, Georgia, population approximately 25,000. Butts county is also home of Jackson Correctional Institute, where state criminals are first shipped to for processing. The S.O. doesn't have a lot of patience with criminals.

8” too high? Sounds like the Father needs more range time.

Long said in a Facebook post, "The shot fired by the homeowner was UNFORTUNATELY about 8 inches too high, missing the intruder, which would have resulted in his death."

I wish I had Sheriff Gary Long here.

Normally, I think the "needs more range time" posts are stupid.

However, in this case I 100% agree.

post 5 says it all.

Breaking in or home invasion is immediate grounds for self defense with deadly force. The intruder has no rights but the innocent person has the right to neutralize the intruder by any means necessary.

if only hospitals had more criminal patients all would be well.

Our TX SO ( in our county,at least) encourages and helps support training classes and ltc classes. Texas is Constitutional, but it’s fun to go to live fire training.

Good dad. But he made a mistake. The dad confronted the intruder as he was climbing through a window, then went to get his gun. Wrong order there.
