I guess they have a gun control problem in Canada because one homeowner was able to defend himself and his property in Kawartha Lakes, Ontario who encountered an armed man in his home.

Someone should tell journalists down there in Texas that they shouldn’t use quotes from folks who have trouble with English to tell the story, I had to read it like three times to figure out what they were trying to say, especially at this link.

Chief Tango sends us a link to an incident in Onslow County, North Carolina, where 21-year-old Gaberail Denton Wright, reported to be a Marine veteran, was practicing his low crawl across the floor of a homeowner who didn’t appreciate Wright’s training and shot him in the abdomen. I’m guessing that Wright left the Corps rather abruptly given his age. Another link tells how Wright had lived with the homeowner after he left the Marines and they had tossed him out when he was charged with identity theft and had forged some of the homeowner’s checks.

The Faulkner County, Arkansas Sheriff’s Office tells the story of how a woman awoke to the sound of breaking glass and found an enterprising young man standing in her bedroom.

Chief Tango sends us a story from Topeka, Kansas where a man credits the new new gun law there with giving him the opportunity to foil a couple of teens from robbing a gun store.

He confronted them with his own gun that he carries now after the Governor signed a permitless concealed carry law.

This story comes from Saint Croix in the US Virgin Islands where three armed men approached a teen who went outside to check the home’s air conditioning unit. The three demanded money and led the youngster into his home. The three tried to drag a safe outside when gunfire broke out. The article isn’t clear on who shot, but the fact that three visitors un-assed the AO rather quickly tells me that it was someone in the home. A little ways away, police found an injured teen who “was not the resident of the house”, a reasonable person can assume that the injured fellow was one of the thieves.

Back here in CONUS, Chief Tango sends us link to doings in Washington, Indiana, a woman greeted an intruder with out-going gunfire. She had forgot to lock the door behind her when she came home, and those criminal types can smell an unlocked door, I suppose. Anyway, it looks like she didn’t hit the rambunctious youngster, but he did un-ass the AO before the police arrived.

There’s a brief story from Preble County, Ohio today about a homeowner who selfishly protected his home, his family and his property from a young patriot who sought to liberate some of his belongings with his own firearm, but the homeowner beat him to the draw, striking center-mass and the young man who was just turning his life around was DOT after he was rushed to the hospital.
