A Florida homeowner who called 911 during a violent home invasion Wednesday morning was transferred to voicemail at the height of the incident when the dispatcher tried to pass the call from the fire department line to police, MyFoxTampaBay.com reported.
Women could be heard screaming during the wait as the recording advised, "If this is an emergency, hang up and dial 911."
He [the homeowner] told the operator there were four of them who beat his wife and stepmother. He shot one.
One suspect was found shot in the back hiding under a car, the report said.

“..now you will have liberal prosecutors and out of town carpet bagging lawyers who will want to sue the home owner...”
Better alive and fighting in Court, with a jury of YOUR PEERS, than rotting in a body bag in the morgue, with your wife or husband having to identify your corpse.
:^)
Like your attitude. Police carry weapons for the same reason we should be able to.
“...for the same reason we should be able to....”
We ARE able to. The US Constitution - the law of the land - enumerates it. Regardless of whatever some little pissant two-bit dictator at any level says.
The most BASIC Human Right is self-defense. Those advocating our giving it up can go pound sand.
I dial 911 for a fire, heart attack, etc. for a home invasion I dial 357.
They exist to file paperwork after the fact (and write revenue tickets).
They know how the gas pedal and radio work when someone says "officer down!".
911: “This is 911 - how can I help you?”
CALLER: “Someone broke into my house and I shot him. I think he is dead. Now what should I do?”
911: “Are you sure? Let’s be sure he is dead before doing anything.”
CALLER: [Bang!!!] Okay, now what....”
Amen brother. I have noticed that people find that hard to accept, but that’s the bottom line right there.
Well said. I’m doing the same.
Good to hear from you Bulwyf... hope you and yours are well and thriving...
Pushing back is essential. If we don’t, the lunatic fringe wins.
” They know how the gas pedal and radio
work when someone says “officer down!”.”
Tell me about it. Want prompt results? Just say, “I think they just shot a cop.”
Cops care about their own, and no one else.
LOL!!!

Sounds like you had better behave yourself! :)

My wife and I decided to visit a new gun store last year just for the hell if it. She has never had an interest in guns. While my back was turned, she bought herself a Sig Sauer 9mm. Since that time, she’s purchased three more handguns and become a very good shot.
