Bearing Arms ^ | January 29, 2015 | Bob Owens

I can’t imagine the terror that must have been running through the mind of the 74-year-old Southgate, Michigan homeowner just before 5:00 AM this morning as a home invader broke in.

The homeowner armed himself and stepped outside the bedroom to protect his cancer-stricken wife as she called 911.

The homeowner ran into the armed home invader. According to investigators, the home invader raised his weapon, and the homeowner was forced to fire to save his life.

I am just about to head out to help my elderly father in law pick out a nice 9 mm for this purpose.

It appears that the collective average IQ of the American population just went up a micro-tick.

Killing someone is the last thing you want to do, but it stays on the list of things necessary for your survival.

Yes, I know. But ANYONE who conducts an armed invasion of another person’s home with unknown (and possibly deadly) intentions deserves his fate. It’s all a process of culling the herd of its bad apples & stupid. The man defending his home may have saved not only his family’s life but also the lives of others down the road.

I didn’t suggest the kid didn’t earn his fate. I only stated a fact that the kid lived right next door.

Thank god the kid wasn’t Black or there would be Sharpton coming to the neighborhood. White on White violence is acceptable as is Black on Black.

Make sure all the living witnesses support your version of events and NEVER talk to the police until you have competent legal representation. NEVER!

There’s something particularly stupid about committing a crime within sight of his home.

This could strain your relationship with your neighbor.

Seriously, I can't imagine shooting the kid next door. It is possible that the elderly couple had known the kid his entire life.

To continue living next door to the parents after this might be impossible for me

Punk no more.



He made claims of being a gang member but I'm guessing it was just talk.
