I got this secondhand from an old friend but I am sure it is correct.
Another old friend was asleep in his house with all the lights out. He awoke and could just barely make out shadowy forms in the room. He lives alone and was recovering from cancer.
He grabbed a .357 magnum and fired six shots basically wildly. It was 3 Black men. It turned out he hit one and he was caught later at a hospital. The other two were identified by that one so they were all caught.
The old friend who recounted the story said he and his Brother both are now shopping for a pistol to keep in their bedrooms. Their wives are OK with it.
I wonder if insurance covers bullet holes in the walls and ceiling.
I hope he recovers from his cancer.....and recovers his hearing.
