Son Uses Father’s Gun to Defend Parents From Armed Home Intruders
Image source: KHOU-TV
One suspect is dead after a quick-thinking 21-year-old man sprang into action and grabbed his father’s gun to fend off three armed intruders and protect his parents in Texas.
The Houston-area young man and his parents were at home baking a cake Thursday night when there was a knock on the door, KHOU-TV reported.
βI see a young boy and I think it is a friend of my son so I open it a little bit,β the father, who didn’t want to show his face or give his name on camera, told KHOU. βThese guys push and out comes two more, they push me on the ground.β
With the father down, the suspects went after the mother, telling her to get on the ground. She ran to her bedroom, where her son was already grabbing the gun from under the bed.
βI just hear a couple of times, boom, boom, boom,” the father said.
The son opened fire and struck one of the suspects, who died in one of the back bedrooms. The other two fled the scene, but deputies responding to the call picked up two men matching their description and took them in for questioning.
The entire attack lasted less than a minute, the family said. No charges are expected to be filed against the son, but they’re not taking any joy in the outcome.
“One young life is lost,β the father said.

Posted on February 24, 2013 at 12:17pmWait, I thought guns were not defensive weapons. A liberal said so therefore it MUST be true, right?
Why didn’t the guy just use a pair of craft scissors? That’s what Homeland Security says should be sufficient.
How about a whistle? If it can prevent rape it should be able to fend off an armed intruder.
Buddy system? Well, I guess it only works when your buddies aren’t forced to the ground at gunpoint and they don’t happen to have their whistle, ink pen, and crafting scissors readily available.
Hmmmm…. I’m sure the family must be grateful that their weapon of “intimidation and offense” worked to defend them, eh?

Posted on February 24, 2013 at 12:44pmSee how simple this was having a gun available? Certainly better than scissors, or for a woman finding a “call box” or using a whistle……….By far better than stepping out on the balcony and shooting a shotgun into the air to “scare them off” Jill would have been under protected thanks to hubby.
Sometimes you just need a gun to stop “bad” people and I wouldn’t hesitate defending myself.

People who choose to not own a gun should go forward with their lives and those who choose to have protection should continue to protect their families and fight the Marxist to defeat their ideology.

Posted on February 24, 2013 at 9:37amThose parents should be proud of their son. Instead of soiling himself and hiding behind the couch, like many neutered young people would do these days, he grabbed the bull by the horns and kicked its ass. Who knows what these animals would have done to these people if left unopposed. Raped? Killed? Tortured?
They ought to put the perp’s head on a stake in the public square. The good people of this country have been preyed upon too much and it’s high time we say ENOUGH!
Get a gun. Get trained. Get/stay proficient. Get your license. Carry ALWAYS. The majority of us will never encounter such a home invasion, but some of us will. When that moment comes, it’ll come fast and it’ll be violent. You have to be prepared. Never go far from your firearm.

A saying good for many occasions, like my mother telling me I’m overprotective when my children were young and protecting my children from being stolen near halloween, being watchful in parking lots who’s nearby, following or also what’s parked next to you, etc.
Being aware and prepared.

And carry the gun ON your body. “Nearby” is relative, and can be fatal. I’m a 66 year old widow. I own my life and am the only one presponsible for that life and my safety. That’s why I carry a gun.

They cannot know the whole stry at the outset, and if they do not ake te appropriate evidentiary steps and the case needed to go to trial (say it was friends of the son and the home invasion was fabricated after the fact) not taking the right steps would lead to calls that they weren’t doing their jobs
Clearly they figured it out; no charges will be filed.
The on did a great job… And will have to deal with the aftermath, now.
The families sober response, recognizing that eve with a good outcome a life had been lost, shows they are compassionate and intelligent. I’ll hope the young man can cope with what he had to do.

Posted on February 24, 2013 at 12:35pmThe police have to go through the numbers and follow whatever kind of procedure they have set up in order to complete a through and proper investigation. If they don’t, they could be second-guessed and the likes of Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton will be causing even more aggravation.
Many of us like to cheer, and rightfully so when the good guys prevail, but being the subject of a shooting investigation is a hassle. That goes for civilians and police officers alike. Hopefully everything goes smooth for this young man.

Posted on February 24, 2013 at 2:22pmThe Joe Horn shooting controversy refers to the events of November 14, 2007, in Pasadena, Texas, United States, when local resident Joe Horn shot and killed two men burglarizing his neighbor’s home. Publicized recordings of Horn’s exchange with emergency dispatch indicate that he was asked repeatedly not to interfere with the burglary because the police would soon be on hand. The shootings have resulted in debate regarding self-defense, Castle Doctrine laws, and Texas laws relating to use of deadly force to prevent or stop property crimes. The illegal alien status of the burglars has been highlighted because of the U.S. border controversy. On June 30, 2008, Joe Horn was cleared by a grand jury in the Pasadena shootings.

Posted on February 24, 2013 at 10:58amLOL, Polarized, got it.
Now, as we do the tally, do we count the “..They should have had a Gun .=”
as just those who, unfortunately, lost their life, or also include those who were terrorized by criminals?
I vote we be inclusive.

Posted on February 24, 2013 at 9:14amBut was it an AR-15?
And if there was a manufacturer who refused to sell a legal gun to someone, who found themselves in a similar situation and they didn’t have a gun to defend themselves, are they not an accessory to murder?

Posted on February 24, 2013 at 9:57amYou need to focus,the manufacturers aren’t selling to governmental agencies that are violating the second amendment,pay attention. The progressive politician that insists on violating the second amendment should be charged with treason and thrown into prison where it belongs.

Posted on February 24, 2013 at 8:22pmA buddy of mine in Arizona encouraged a trio of home invaders to vacate his residence with some subtle persuasion from his 12 gauge pump. They managed to run away, but he managed to wing one. Police arrived in under 5 minutes. He had a mix of rounds in the weapon and the police looking at the inch across hole in his door asked how that happened and his response was “Slug”.

The moral of theses blaze storys is the people involved protect themselves so they police do not have to explain ariving late to a murder or rape or both
But I do have a great idea for NC
Issue toe tags to pre fill out and whistles to the citizens

Posted on February 24, 2013 at 11:24amHi MONK, I read about that bill the other day when CIVILWARCOMETH linked to a story on it. Brunstetter’s district is the Winston-Salem area. I certainly hope that everybody up there knows what this guy is doing an puts an end to his career. He’s a carpetbagger from San Francisco anyway. That explains a lot. Has there been any word out there from Governor McCrory?
Thanks for that second like too. He certainly took them to task didn’t he? All of these departments need to have a continuing educations program. While I have seen lawyers in court let cops make fools of themselves, I have also seen cops make lawyers look like fools. Those were the guys who never stopped studying. No one knows it all, there are just some on both sides who think they do.

Yep, that’s where I found the NC link.
I’m really not found of the “Smugness” some lawyers use at times especially the young ones.
He (the gun owner) could have handled that much better.
