He armed himself with a .45 automatic and fired a single shot through the door, the report said. The suspected burglar was hit in the abdomen and likely died minutes later.<\/p>\n<p>The suspect was described as a white male in a ski mask who was carrying a hammer and screwdriver at the time of the shooting. Police have tentatively identified the suspect as the man wanted for other burglaries in the neighborhood, the report said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The local police chief went on to say that the homeowner did what the law enforcement and legal system couldn&#8217;t accomplish &#8211; put the dude out of business. I&#8217;d advise people who think that robbing old guys is a potential career path &#8211; all of us old guys don&#8217;t fart around with puny .380 (9mm Kurz) or 9mm handguns that punch little holes. We learned to shoot with .45s and that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re comfortable with. A quarter ounce of lead traveling at 930 feet per second doesn&#8217;t leave you standing long enough for the second round.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Old Trooper sends a link to a feel good article about an 82-year-old who dispatched an &hellip; <a title=\"Today&#8217;s feel good story\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=28298\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Today&#8217;s feel good story<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[156],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28298","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-guns"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28298","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=28298"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28298\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=28298"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=28298"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=28298"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
