One in the slam, one in the wind. At around 3:30 in the morning, Travis Yust was faced with a tough decision, to pull the trigger or let the men he believed to be responsible for breaking into his home get away. <\/strong><\/p>\n BATSON \u2014 Travis Yust has lived in Batson all his life, but on November 8th he was forced to realize it’s no longer the safe town where he grew up.<\/p>\n In a matter of minutes, Yust went from sleeping peacefully in his home, to protecting it. At around 3:30 in the morning, Yust was faced with a tough decision, to pull the trigger or let the men he believed to be responsible for breaking into his home get away. <\/p>\n “My wife woke me up and said the dogs are barking and our door beeped,” explained Yust.<\/p>\n Yust said they have a home alarm, but it wasn’t activated that night. The door, however, beeps every time it’s opened. He said he assumed the wind blew open the door.<\/p>\n “I turned on the light and noticed that my gun safe door was wide open, and right then I panicked,” said Yust, “I said, I’ve been robbed.”<\/p>\n Yust ran outside and grabbed his thermal imaging scope. He managed to spot the alleged thieves hiding across the street on the property of one of his relatives.<\/p>\n “I immediately went and grabbed my rifle, mounted my scope onto the rifle, grabbed a pistol, and headed off down the driveway,” said Yust. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n Read the entire article at 12 News Now<\/a><\/p>\n More poor target selection.
