Man Takes Joe Biden’s Gun Advice — and Now He Probably Wishes He Hadn’t

Mar. 1, 2013 10:30pm Jason Howerton

Man Takes Joe Bidens Gun Advice and Gets Arrested for Reckless Handling of a Firearm

Credit: Getty Images

Vice President Joe Biden told Field and Stream in a report published Monday that “if you want to keep someone away from your house, just fire the shotgun through the door.” That same day, a 22-year-old man in Virginia Beach, Va. followed Biden’s advice — and was charged with reckless handling of a firearm.

The man was in his bedroom when two armed masked men leaned through the window and warned him to close his bedroom door, WAVY-TV reports. The 22-year-old then stepped into the hallway, grabbed his shotgun and fired several shots through his closed bedroom door, toward the window.

The only person who got arrested that night was him. Police reportedly arrested the man on reckless handling of a firearm charges. The two burglary suspects have not been found and no injuries were reported.

While it’s unclear whether or not the man was acting on advice from Biden or not, it certainly shows how flawed Biden’s gun advice really is. Keep in mind, Obama selected Biden to head an actual gun violence “task force.”

In another recent interview, Biden said he tells his wife that if she ever feels threatened by a home intruder, she should just “walk out on the balcony here, walk out and put that double-barrel shotgun and fire two blasts outside the house.” Once again, this is very flawed and reckless gun advice.

In Delaware, where Biden and his wife call home, it’s a felony reckless endangerment violation to fire a weapon into the air, according to attorneys.

Biden also claimed in the same interview that a double-barrel 12-gauge shotgun is easier to use and aim than an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, a claim that gun experts have debunked thoroughly.

I knew this was going to happen and whoever did it was most likely going to be facing charges. All of Biden’s ignorant advice about methods of using a shotgun for defense has been utter nonsense promoting dangerous thoughts, yet I have not seen any retractions and apologies. I’m not delusional and thus don’t expect to, but it would nice to know that in our high government there was enough humble honesty with checks and balances as well as true concern for the public it would be forthcoming.

  Joe Biden couldn’t lead a dog to a hydrant-much less a nation. Every time the man opens his mouth something immensely stupid invariably comes out. The fact that this MENSA reject sits a heartbeat away from the oval office speaks volumes about this administration and it’s lack of leadership. Of course, it also speaks volumes to the millions who voted for it. Dan Quayle looks like Isaac Newton compared to this Vice Presidential catastrophe. Yet he and his sensei are serving 2nd terms-go figure. I guess the old saying is true-misery indeed loves company.

  It would be an idea for this gentleman’s lawyer to contact Biden’s office and leave a message for good ol Joe. Maybe an op-ed piece in the Washington paper unless there’s a gag order. But put a little pressure on someone to respond. After all the 2nd in charge gave the advice he should stand by his word. Just my opinion. Thanks for reading. Geo.

  Biden should not be allowed to OWN a gun,let alone ADVISING on guns.HE is the BEST argument for keeping guns away from the mentally ill there is. The MOST frightning thing,though,is the fact that,after being called on his “Fire two shots” advice,he was ALLOWED to speak AGAIN and REPEAT the exposure of his stupidity.

  They got elected because the Bilderburg group FIXES all the elections to put their favorite puppet in the oval office. After every election there is clear and concise proof that machines broke down all over the nation keeping entire segments from voting and all the military votes don’t make it in from overseas or entire blocks were counted twice to FIX our elections. Even Wikipedia has a really well done history of these NAZI monsters that details how the elections have been FIXED for 200 years.
  
  They do and have always picked our POTUS and in the past few decades they picked “Skull and Bonesmen” who are their newest most elite army of anti-Americans. The Founding Fathers were predominately Illuminati and the highest level of the Free Masons secret society. They run America and always have and now they run the world.

Yeah, around here we generally don’t shoot through doors.

So today, in my neck of the woods, a man walks into a bank in a small town, produces a gun and demands money. One of our fine citizens who happened to be in there decided to take exception to that and shot him in the face. He somehow got out to his car and led a chase into Kansas City, but alas, lost at that too. I imagine the county will have accommodations for him when he gets out of the hospital. But folks here are kindly and will probably vote for him to keep those accommodations for some years to come.

I’m not the brightest bulb in the room when it comes to political legality so I would really appreciate an answer from someone who does have this understanding and knowledge. It just amazes me how many times I see obumma doing something against this Country or stepping on our Constitutional rights but yet he is still able to get away with it. I really want to know why!

  The reason Obama hasn’t been impeached is not because the Republicans are chicken. It’s because the House must bring the charges (like a grand jury), but the “trial” is held in the Senate. Can you imagine Harry Reid allowing an impeachment to go forward? Not a chance! Now, had we been able to take back control of the Senate in the 2012 elections, it would have been possible. As long as the Democrats control the Senate, there will be no impeachment.

You have to wonder how a guy like Biden can be where he is and at the same time be so lacking of common sense and so seemingly insensitive to any reality around him. How can he have been a public servant for all these years and still be so totally aloof of society and reality in general? Did Obama really choose O’Biden as a running-mate simply because he was so simple and malleable? Or is he just drunk all of the time? It’s all so hard to understand.

  Burdrow, in the mid 90′s, in a reaction to the Militia movement, Joe Biden wrote something called “The Patriot Act” and couldn’t get the darn thing proposed or backed by any politician. So it sat on a shelf collecting dust until September 11, 2001 when all they did was change some words from “American Patriot” to “Terrorist” and then to “Domestic Terrorist” and THEN it got shoved down our throats by Bush. Many people don’t know that Joe Biden is the actual politician who got the original Patriot Act written.
  
  Getting the VP chair was Biden’s reward for finding a way to get Americans put under Big Brother’s ever watchful gaze.

  “The man was in his bedroom when two armed masked men leaned through the window and warmed (sic) him to close his bedroom door…” Sure, armed masked men, who told him to close the bedroom door, then let him run away. Then when the guy ran away, the masked armed men ran away. Then he came back to the bedroom and fired his shotgun a few times.
  
  That’s his story and he’s sticking to it. Sounds legit don’t it? My guess you won’t hear a lot of followup on this little news item.

  The only way to be sure is to have proof. Open the door & shoot them while they are in your domicile & not just hanging 1/2 way in. Don’t worry SME, they can still vote for your side from the grave. I am sure your side will make sure of it.

  Meteors,
  Cops will arrest you if a guy swings his fist & breaks your jaw, stabs you, but is running away inside your house or especially outside your house.
  
  Considering that the bad guy knows where you live, but in all likelihood you don’t know who he is or where they live, they could pay you a repeat visit. Most sane people want to avoid that so they would rather end it then & there. You however would not.
