This happened early this morning. The crook shot five times is in critical condition. The other male was captured. When are these guys going to realize, if they break in a home in Pasadena, Texas, they are going to be killed. I don't go anywhere without my weapons.
PASADENA, TX (KTRK) -- Pasadena police are still looking for a woman following an attempted home invasion that ended in gunfire.

It happened early this morning at a home in the 5100 block of Turnberry Court near Cherry Hills Lane.

Police say a male and female went to the home and were talking with the homeowner inside. A third person, who had been waiting in the man and woman's car outside, then came into the home with a shotgun, police say.

The homeowner had his own weapon, a semi automatic pistol, and shot the man with the shotgun five times. That man went to hospital in critical condition.

The original man and woman took off. Police later captured the male, but they are still looking for the female.

This is also happening around Mobile, AL. Homeowners are fed up with these guys.

Excellent article. I only wish our liberal politicians would notice that wherever law-abiding citizens are prevented from defending themselves, the violent crime rates go up. And on the other end of the spectrum, I've never heard a story of a criminal attempting to rob a gun range during business hours.

Were not the only ones with weapons but you have less chance here if you
caught in the act.

Arizona is also a right to carry state, and crime is pretty low compared to other states.

Castle Doctrine/Stand Your Ground laws RULE.

We Texans love our guns and we are not afraid to use them. We shoot to relieve stress, have fun and defend our families, property and neighbors. Get togethers often turn to gun talk and its not unheard of for three or four people in that conversation to go their trucks and pull out the weapons to just show them off. We put gun-makers stickers on our vehicles and wear apparel to advertise our favorite brand of gun or knife. Most of us feel naked if we don;t have one of our many knives on us.

Knowing all of this, if somebody is stupid enough to break into one of our houses, they deserve to be shot!

Another case where gun ownership prevented a felony with a potential homecoming. I love living in Texas.

North Dakota is trying to pass that your drivers license is your CC permit. Very gun friendly state.

A few years ago we had an incident here in corpus were three guys kicked down a door and invaded a home while the family was sleeping. The following is an actual transcript of the conversation between my wife and I after we watched the news story.

Wife: are you awake? what would you do if they kicked down our door and came into our house in the middle of the night?

Me: call the police and ask them to come and remove the bodies from my hallway. Go to sleep honey.

I dunno Sergeant, BUT the more crooks you shoot, the less of a burden on society they are. Shoot 'Em and give the homeowners medals for Meritorious Action....Anyone reading this who lost a loved one who was killed while that loved one was in the commission of a felony, I understand you still grieve for them. If they had not been criminals they would be alive today.
