I'm pleased to hear the victims not being brought up before a DA on charges. Yay! for the good guys.
I guess Mr. Watson should've heeded the sign in the front window "We don't call 911!" Can you imagine what may have happened had this couple not had firearms and simply rolled over to play the part of the victim?
An armed society is a polite society.
-Regards and Happy New Year to all!

they can't figure out how he got 3/4 mi from the freeway? maybe he walked. guess they don't exercise much out there.
I think my favorite sign, that would have worked well for these folks too, is "WARNING IF YOU ARE FOUND HERE AT NIGHT, YOU WILL BE FOUND HERE IN THE MORNING."

Justice of the common man.....ssssooooooo sweet!

Justice served in the red zone. Blue zone members, dial 911 and pray the criminal has no murderous intentions.

I wonder how many past burglarys well be solved and how many future burglarys have been prevented. Most of these guy sing like a bird when caught. I am sure this wasn't his first time.

Wow, that was a heck of an action filled day!

The husband then grabbed a rifle in his truck and shot out one of the van’s tires, Russell said. The suspect pointed his gun at the husband who then fired a shot that hit the suspect in the arm, Russell said.Two shots, two hits. Good shooting!
Oh, and in case anyone was wondering why there are gun racks in trucks...

"WARNING IF YOU ARE FOUND HERE AT NIGHT, YOU WILL BE FOUND HERE IN THE MORNING." In English and in Spanish.

Too bad he only hit an arm. But maybe that will keep him from facing charges.

One of those, "Just what the HELL was THAT?!", days.

This one is great too... but I prefer the 2 dog version.
