Here are a couple of Feel Good stories to start the day. Thanks to Dave Hardin for sending them. And remember, crime does not pay.
It seems Houston, TX has had an outbreak of people wanting to shop for Guns during the wee hours of the night. Evidently, a few employees of one Gun Shop decided to hang around the FEBA. Whad’Ya Know, they nabbed a couple of bandits trying to break in, the rest of their compadres amscrayed most riki-tik. There was no evidence at the scene that the would be robbers had completed the proper paperwork required to purchase a firearm.
A home owner in Slidell, LA heard noises outside his home. He observed a man beating on his vehicle and screaming. It appears when the homeowner asked the crazed trespasser to leave his property, the soon to be DRT loon decided to charge at him. I guess merely showing someone who is chemically removed from reality a gun doesn’t always stop them. A proper site picture almost always does.

Thank you EX PH2 and Dave Hardin for keeping the wheels on the bus.
Thanks guys for a great start to the day! Any word on Jonn yet? My prayers are with him and his family!
No new word yet, but I will try to get an update.
@Ex-PH2
Your willingness to fill in is appreciated.
Wishing John a fully and speedy recovery.
Hmmm, FEBA. Now there’s an acronym I hadn’t seen or thought about in a good long while.
Who du thunk an Ex Navy type would know what a FEBA is?/smile
Got to thinking about this. Ex, did you do the ad lib write-ups or did Dave Hardin do them?
If Dave did them, then strike my reference to an Ex Navy type knowing what a FEBA is.
No, he did them and sent them to me.
Ummm, OK. BTW, are you interested in what FEBA stands for or do you already know?
FEBA was cool, but “amscrayed most riki-tik” sounded ghey as hell. Godspeed to Jonn and his recovery.
(Just giving DH shit. I love all of you miscreants.)
I’ll tell Dave you think he’s ghey. He may weep a few over that.
Its been awhile so I had to mull through the acronym laden brain cells. I agree, FEBA isn’t something the navy would use…? But then, not being a navy-type, although I work at a place laden with them, I will have to send them to the FEBA, out here that would be the Hanford Site and see what they say. 🙂
The FEBA acronym applied to Hanford is: Forward edge of Boring Area. The Tri-cities area is such a hot bed of entertainment – not.
Breaking into a gun shop in Houston, Texas = suicide by citizen. (Some of these guys actually LIVE in the back of their shops). 🙂
Love the FEBA reference!
According to some Houston news outlets, the employees grabbed their guns, ran out & held two, two or three jumped in a car and one of those perps opened fire on the employees, who returned fire with “an AR15” striking one, who was dumped at the hospital by his “friends”

We also have another out of Harris County, Texas, with the perp DRT:

OK, I, as a retired USAF kind of guy, will ask what everyone else either knows or is afraid to ask – What is FEBA???
If this old civilian is right Forward Edge of the Battle Area.
Correct. It is basically the front of the front. It is the line you cross in a ground attack at H-hour. Once you cross it, you can expect to encounter the enemy, thus the reference in the post.
Thanks, all. Now you know, (in my best Paul Harvey voice)the rest of the story!
Here is another one for today

A 13-year-old Ladson boy fended off two would-be burglars by using his mother’s gun to protect himself while home alone Tuesday.
He killed one of them in an exchange of gunfire, and the second suspect was later arrested, according to the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office.
Thanks, Mogrith.
Anyone who has a local ‘feel good’ story for tomorrow’s thread, just post it in the comments so that we can all read it, or send it to Dave Hardin and he’ll do a copy/paste thingy for me to us.
The more, the better.
MURDER CHARGE for the thief who didn’t get shot…God and BUDDHA work good as partners….
