Intruder shot by teen with two guns
It looks like Jeff at Alphecca already covered this, but I wanted to bring it to the attention of anyone who might read my blog but not his (Anyone? Bueller?)
The rundown:
The rundown:
- Some guy bangs on the door in the middle of the night.
- Mom goes to the door and opens it (!?!)
- Guy tries to force his way in but mom shuts the door.
- Bad guy ("Jumper") tries to break down the door with his bicycle.
- Mom gets hysterical.
- Jarvis (15) hears mom and cowboys up (dual pistols).
- Jumper finally busts in and Jarvis caps him.
- Jarvis thinks he scared him away, and the cops find him "lying on the ground a few houses away, shot multiple times and bleeding from his wounds"
- ''Preliminary investigation suggests it was a justifiable shooting, and the 15-year-old won't be charged''
The gun-haters would have us all cowering in a closet calling 911 while Jumper has his way with our families and our property. Meanwhile the police would respond, if they feel like it, and when they get around to it. In this case they'd likely have been more of a clean-up crew.
I found it interesting that in the article there was no mention of the guns being "registered" or anyone in the household being "licensed".
All in all, a good story. Chalk one up for the good guys.

That was a good article. I enjoyed it. I found it rather amusing that he chose to arm himself with two pistols. Can't argue with that, I guess. It's nice to read about justified self-defense without all the negative hype and hysteria that you expect. One thing confuses me, though. Where were the police? We can trust them to be there right when we need them, right? I guess I don't understand why they didn't just resolve the situation. Because 911 works, right?
