Young man in Texas protects parents from violent intruders - Little Rock gun rights | Examiner.com

On Thursday night, Feb. 21, around 8:00, a Houston family was in the middle of baking a cake when they were attacked in their own home. There was a knock at the door and the father saw a young man standing at the door who he presumed was a friend of his son. Upon opening the door slightly, three armed intruders then violently forced their way into the home, as reported by KHOU.
After forcing their way in, the intruders then knocked the father down to the floor. They then proceeded to go after the mother. At which point, the son grabbed his father's gun, shooting and killing one of the intruders. The other two intruders quickly fled the home, but were soon caught by police.
No charges against the son are expected to be filed, as he was acting in self-defense. According to the report, Harry Moulder, a neighbor of the family, stated:
"People can’t go breaking into people’s homes and not expect some sort of consequence."
The young man was just doing what he had to do in order to protect his family.

A very responsible and clear headed young man.
 
He did what he had to do and, more to the point, he had the tool with which to protect himself and his family.

It's easy to be responsible and clear headed in a case with no question whatsoever, as is any home invasion.

Oh my GOD this kid is a MURDERER. He probably used an ASSAULT weapon. He should've called the police instead of MURDERING some guy. You know the police would've came out there right away and diffused this problem!

Good on him. He did the right thing.
 
It is all the GOP's fault for not giving the burglars enough welfare so that they have to go out and get shot just for trying to not starve in the streets.

Well, this hyperbolic comment doesn't add light, only heat.

Thanks for your contribution. :roll:

Yeah, they don't have heat and light either. You should try to give them some of that too. And maybe some free crack and let the problem take care of itself.
 
Joe Biden would be so disappointed the woman didn't run out on the balcony first and shoot her double barrel shotgun.
 
:( If that family hadn't owned a gun, armed robbers would never have broken in in the first place.

Seriously, we should make armed robbery illegal. It's long past time we stop putting up with this sort of thing.
 
Three armed intruders violently forced their way into a Familys home, attacked the Father then went after the Mother. Their Son grabbed the Fathers gun and shot one of the armed intruders. It's clear the intruders weren't just there to share the cake they were baking.

I can't imagine any reasonable person would have an issue with that.

Ah, one of my favorite females here, steeped in common sense and blessed good looks.

The operative word is 'reasonable'.

I am sure that there will be a crying sympathetic willy-nilly along to extol the virtues of the wayward dead criminal.

No one does. As usual the gun nuts are building straw men and relying on anecdotal evidence. The amusing thing is those who are doing that would be the first to pile onto a thread about some one dying in gun accidents or some one murdered by a gun.
 
Isn't the liberal argument that the death penalty is too severe for a home invasion?

Or anything else, I would wager.

You mean like anti-gun nuts as usual starting a thread building straw men and relying on anecdotal evidence of a 2 year old finding his mother's gun? I'll look to see your message on that thread complaining of straw men and acnedotal evidence. I specifically juxtipositioned this thread to that one.

Of course, "acendotal evidence" also can mean considering issues in the context of reality rather than slogans and ideologies.

Yes, exactly like that. It's stupid and a piss poor method of attempted debate.

Anecdotal evidence does not mean that, no.

Yep. He might have been looking for a puppy, mentally challenged or abused as young lad. ;)

Not if you or a loved one is the victim in that anecdote. My signature line now takes the single example to the final total overall statistics.
 
Obama uses anecdotals all the time, including on these gun issues. You believe he should stop mentioning any specific school shooting or anyone who was there as piss-poor presentation?
