Good for them.

Better for them if they had shot his sorry ass.

Everyone should know that thieves often hit twice or three times. After the first theft they know you'll buy brand new stuff they can steal so they hit you again. My dad sold insurance and saw this happen quite often.

Indeed good for them. I would recommend a shotgun rather than a rifle for this type of thing next time. Glad they had the b@lls to protect their family and glad they got out OK. .12 gauge pump or semi-auto (minus the capacity limiter required for hunting weapons) with double ought buckshot would do the trick.

I sure hope those rifles didn't look militaristic. Tsk, Tsk.

From the article; ...who pulled a handgun on the brothers before he ran out of the house...

He was inside the house, pulled a gun and they didn't give him multiple hot lead injections? !!!

Don't know the law thereabouts, but I've always thought that situation would be automatic grounds for opening up on the perp.

Besides, it would save them time spent testifying, the money wasted on a trial, the money wasted incarcerating the SOB, and the chance that he'd ever commit any more crimes, armed or otherwise.

I also thought it was cool they "camped out". Does that mean outside, or on the couch like we do at Mom's over the Christmas holidays?

This story needs more details.

Were they wearing their insulated camo overalls or did they have Ghillie Suits on?

Did they have night vision scopes?

Were they in an Armed Intruder Blind?

Were they wearing their "Human Critter Hunting Licenses" (it's a year-long season, LOL).

The Reihners aimed their rifles at Wallace, who pulled a handgun on the brothers before he ran out of the house, Brian Reihner said.

They should have pulled the triggers, then there might be one less petty criminal that the taxpayers have to take care of. Damn shame.

It does not say in the article, but I am interested in knowing how old these guys are.

Here's another version of the events...

Grandsons thwart attempted break-in
BY KATHIE O. WARCO, Staff writer

Brian Reihner discounts any notion that he and his brother, Bob, are heroes. But North Franklin Township police Chief Mark Kavakich credits them for possibly saving their grandfather's life during a home invasion early Thursday.

Steven A. Wallace, 19, of 930 W. Chestnut St., Washington, was arrested shortly after he allegedly forced his way into the Sylvan Drive home of Daniel Denman, only to be confronted by the Reihners. Police said he broke into the house about 2:30 a.m. by forcing in plywood covering a door damaged in a previous break-in.

"We were just catnapping," Brian Reihner said, recalling the events of early Thursday. "I could hear him come in. I just waited until he came around the corner. Then my brother turned on the light."

"He grabbed my brother's rifle and pulled him down," Reihner said. "I stepped back but kept my rifle on him. I told him to just leave."

I'm glad they're starting to report more of these stories. Maybe people will get the hint that guns can be a powerful tool when protecting your family against those who wish them harm...
