Muskogee, Oklahoma

He is a disabled vet, of the 8th Rifle Company, USMC. (I’m a little puzzled about this, not being very familiar with the historical task org of the Marines.)

A Muskogee man shot during an alleged home invasion will be jailed when he is released from the hospital, a police spokesman said.

Muskogee police say R’Mont’e Nelson, 18, was attempting to kick in the door of a home in the 600 block of Kankakee Street on Saturday when the homeowner fired one shot through the front door.

Cpl. Pedro Zardeneta said officers arrived to the location of the shooting and eventually found Nelson nearby, staggering and clutching his stomach.

Nelson was hospitalized with a gun-shot to the abdomen, Zardeneta said, though he’s not facing life-threatening injuries.

Semi happy ending. Love these stories.

[RitaOK]

Priceless!

As a Marine veteran I am embarrassed that used a puny .32. He needs to upgrade to a .45.

Those Oklahomans sure do have funny-sounding names, don't they?

Thanks for your service.

Nelson was hospitalized with a gun-shot to the abdomen, Zardeneta said, though he’s not facing life-threatening injuries.

A gut shot can result in peritonitis and a painful death if the surgeon isn't extra careful.

Hey Doc, how about saving the taxpayers some money?

I’m surprised that a .32 could go through a door.

[Albion Wilde]

When you join NRA, they send you stickers. I put one on the front and back doors.

[Albion Wilde]

My first reaction was that wasn't very smart since now he's got to fix the door.

I recently used wood putty on a hole in an insulated steel door and sanded it level before repainting. Worked great! Whereas, as you say, carpet stains just never come out completely.

Considering how many of ‘em are named Demetrius, Octavius or Cletus, maybe they should;)

A claymore? A nasty piece of steel that.>>>

Yep, from the hand of Rob Miller.

My parcel is 10+ acres and my signs say things like, WARNING: Owner will not be held responsible for trespassers shot in “hunting accidents”.

[PapaBear3625]

And for the other gun owners out there, what’s stopping you from putting up a “Trespassers will be shot” sign?

Even in a Castle Doctrine/Stand Your Ground state, putting up such a sign is just asking for trouble if you're involved in an actual self-defense shooting.

Now a "Beware of Zombie/Trespassers Will Be Eaten" sign would get the message across, but could be plausibly defended as a gag.

First hold the perp at gunpoint,then order him to step onto the blue plastic tarp.

Now, that's cold. That's really cold.

The criminal lived. Maybe he will learn,

Law suits usually follow, but lucky for the marine he lives in Oklahoma.

So what caliber was the hole in the door? Just pulling your leg.

LOL! Thank goodness you weren't pulling my finger!
